NoLoop FAQ
What is NoLoop?
NoLoop is a Safari extension and companion app that changes how Instagram behaves in the browser so you can avoid its most addictive loops while preserving useful surfaces.
Why does NoLoop exist?
NoLoop exists because Instagram can be useful for messages, profiles, search, and notifications, while feeds, Reels, Stories, Explore, posts, and autoplay can pull attention into automatic loops.
Does NoLoop replace Instagram?
No. NoLoop works with Instagram in Safari. It is not a new social network.
Is NoLoop an Instagram client?
No. NoLoop is a Safari extension for instagram.com, not a separate Instagram client.
Is NoLoop a screen-time blocker?

Can NoLoop block Facebook videos and the Facebook feed?
Yes. NoLoop can protect Facebook's feed and video surfaces in Safari, including autoplaying video, to help prevent a targeted visit from becoming an open-ended session.

Can I still use Facebook groups, events, Marketplace, profiles, or messages?
Yes. NoLoop is designed to keep intentional Facebook access available while blocking or interrupting feed, Reels, and video surfaces in Safari.

Following only is a NoLoop setting that redirects Instagram's home/posts view to Instagram's Following feed, so you only view posts from accounts you follow.
Does Following only change Instagram's algorithm?
No. Following only does not change Instagram's algorithm. It opens Instagram's Following feed when you visit the home/posts view in Safari.
