Description

The real Instagram and YouTube apps stay on your iPhone. The moment a Reels or Shorts feed shows up, a black screen covers it. Tap the dot at the top of the screen and you are back on your home feed. Nothing leaves the phone. Beta, iPhone only.

Could you build this?

No Intercepting, detecting UI components of third-party native apps (Instagram/YouTube), and drawing persistent overlays on iOS violates Apple's strict application sandboxing and security model.

What it would actually take: Achieving this on stock iOS is essentially impossible without private Apple APIs, extreme accessibility abuse (which violates App Store guidelines), MDM supervision profiles, or a jailbroken environment. On jailbroken iOS, it would require a tweak written in Objective-C/Swift using substrate/hooking libraries (like Frida or CaptainHook) to inject code into SpringBoard and host app processes to monitor view hierarchies and render an overlay window.
