  Once I saw the stories I was like ok wtf. How do I turn this off?

  Maybe revanced manager can do it.

    I’m using Nekogram, that at least allows to automatically hide (archive) them.

      Forkgram

      www.f-droid.org/en/…/org.forkgram.messenger/

      Seems to be doing the trick for me but the icon sucks and I had to rename it in the android UI cause it uses its package name for its display name lol. How’s nekogram compare?

        Yeah, the package/display name issue has been a bug for a while in Forkgram. Nekogram just works for me, nothing special apart from some custom options, such as hide stories.
