Privacy

This is an extension that runs wholly locally on your phone. It communicates with Instagram’s server, but no other server. I don’t track, store, keep any information about you or your usage.

1. Open instagram.com in Safari
2. Tap the = Menu button on the left side of the address bar
3. Manage Extensions > Switch on "Only DMs" > Done
4. Tap (again) on "Only DMs" to grant permissions
5. Open "Only DMs" to switch between “Hide distractions” (default) or “Show timer”; or to get to your follow requests.

How the extension works

• By default, everything should be hidden other than DMs.
• If you want the timer or “Give me 5”, open Menu > Extensions > Only DMs and switch.
• If you have a private profile and open someone who requested to follow you, you’ll see a bar underneath to accept them (and move onto the next request).
