What can I hide on TikTok?
When you open TikTok inside minulo, you can hide the following, one item at a time. You can change what is hidden at any time.
- Recommendations
- Every tab but DMs
What still works after hiding?
Messages and Following open straight from the minulo home screen. Everything you have not hidden works like the TikTok website.
How do I set it up?
- Install minulo from the App Store.
- On the home screen, tap "Add a service" and choose TikTok.
- Tap the gear next to TikTok and turn on what you want to hide.
- To stop the official app too, open the "Block" tab, allow Screen Time, and choose TikTok in "Apps to block".
What happens to the official TikTok app?
minulo uses iPhone Screen Time to stop the official TikTok app from opening. When you try to open it, a "Blocked" screen appears, and its "Open minulo" button takes you to minulo. Blocking is free.
Is it free?
Hiding content on TikTok and blocking the official app are free. Schedules that switch automatically by day and time, Locked Mode and multiple block lists are part of minulo Pro.
