GramControl removes the unnecessary distractions of Instagram and lets you, once again, enjoy connecting with your friends and community.
Currently we support the following customizable options with more to come:
- Hides Instagram Explore and Reels links
- Hides suggested posts and recommendations from your feed
- Hides comments from posts
- Hides suggested friends sections
GramControl is open-source, lightweight, reliable, and intuitive. It never saves, sends, or uses any of your information for purposes other than its core functionality.
