Partial Hiding Reels and Shorts inside the native Instagram and YouTube apps on iPhone requires native iOS work with Screen Time/Family Controls or similar system hooks, which vibe coding can scaffold but which is fragile and gated by Apple entitlements.
What it would actually take: Build a native Swift/SwiftUI iOS app with a Screen Time / Family Controls extension and a content-filtering or web-view-based approach for hiding feed surfaces, plus a companion web filter for browsers. The hard parts are Apple's restricted entitlements, undocumented app-internal UI structures that change with app updates, and keeping the blocking reliable across iOS versions. This needs iOS platform expertise and ongoing maintenance.
