In Unscroller's supported Facebook web flow, useful routes such as notifications, messages, Pages, Marketplace, settings, and business tools remain available where supported. Home, Feeds, Watch, Stories, Gaming, and Reels paths are reduced so a specific visit is less likely to become a general scroll.
What stays useful and what gets reduced
| Keep available where supported | Reduce where supported |
|---|---|
| Messages and notifications | Facebook Home and general Feeds paths |
| Pages, profiles, and direct links | Watch and supported video-feed routes |
| Marketplace and selected listings | Stories, Gaming, and Reels paths |
| Settings, business tools, and other supported direct routes | Navigation that sends a finished task back into the feed |
Keep the parts of Facebook that still have a job
Deleting Facebook can be impractical when a local group, family conversation, Marketplace listing, Page, or business account still matters. The better boundary is often to start at the tool you need instead of the general Home surface.
Unscroller routes the supported web experience around direct actions. The exact interface can vary by account, region, and Facebook experiments, so the page describes the intended boundary without claiming that every surface disappears in every session.
How the focused Facebook flow works
1. Open Facebook from Unscroller
Use the Facebook shortcut so the supported focused-browsing rules are active.
2. Choose messages, notifications, Marketplace, a Page, or another direct route
Start with the reason you opened Facebook instead of a general feed.
3. Leave after the useful action
The goal is not to ban Facebook. It is to keep the visit attached to the task that justified it.
Important product boundaries
- The flow reduces supported Facebook web routes; it does not modify the native Facebook app.
- Facebook can change mobile routes, labels, sign-in behavior, and experiments without notice.
- Unscroller is independent and is not made by, sponsored by, or endorsed by Facebook or Meta.
Use a stronger boundary when you need one
Focused browsing is the lighter option when you have a specific social task. If opening the native app almost always turns into a feed session, use an app limit, scheduled blocker, or location-based blocker during the times and places you want to protect. The iPhone doomscrolling guide explains how those boundaries fit together.
