How to Disable Stories in PinkSky
PinkSky is a photo-centric social networking application built on the Bluesky platform, offering an experience reminiscent of Instagram. Initially available for iOS, PinkSky expanded its reach by launching an Android version, broadening its user base. The app allows users to share photos and videos, with current limitations of up to four photos per post and videos up to one minute in length. But if you don't want to see Stories in PinkSky this guide will show you how to quickly and easily disable them.
How Do You Disable Stories in PinkSky?
PinkSky is a brand new social networking app built on the Bluesky platform which is offering an almost identical experience as Instagram. So much so that it is basically a clone. Originally it was only available for iOS, but PinkSky has recently dropped on Android. It allows users to share photos and videos, with current limitations of up to four photos per post and videos up to one minute in length. While it offers a unique blend of traditional photo-sharing experiences and the benefits of open, decentralized technologies, it also incorporates a Stories feature that may not be for everyone. If you prefer a feed without Stories, this guide will show you how to quickly and easily disable them.
- The Stories section in PinkSky is similar to Instagram's Stories feature, where posts are visible for only 24 hours. These posts can include photos, videos, and other media, creating an interactive and temporary experience for users. However, if you’re not a fan of this feature and would prefer not to see Stories in your feed, follow these steps to disable them on the Android version of the app
- Start by opening the PinkSky app on your Android device. If you don’t have the app installed, download it from the Google Play Store. Upon opening the app, log in with your Bluesky credentials. Your social network from Bluesky will be integrated with PinkSky right away, so you don’t have to worry about re-building connections.
- Once logged in, tap on your profile icon icon, usually located at the bottom-right corner of the screen. This will take you to your profile page, where you can manage various features of your account. On this page tap Settings.
- In the settings menu, look for a section called "Content Settings." Once you've found the relevant section, look for an option that allows you to hide or disable Stories. If such an option is unavailable, it might indicate that the feature has not yet been fully customizable, but keep checking for updates as PinkSky changes.
- As soon as you flip the toggle Stories will vanish from your app. There are also quite a few other options here you might want to get rid of.
- Since PinkSky is in its early stages, features may change over time. If the app doesn’t currently allow you to fully disable Stories, check for new app updates regularly. Developers may introduce more granular control over what content appears in your feed, including options for Story management.
Note: If the option to fully disable Stories is not available yet, another way to filter out unwanted content is by muting Stories from specific users. Go to the user’s profile, tap the three dots in the top-right corner of their page, and select "Mute Stories" (if this feature is available). This will prevent Stories from that user from showing up in your feed.
