The Problem

Why You Need to Block Spotlights

Spotlight is Snapchat's TikTok clone, hidden inside an app you actually use to talk to friends. You open Snapchat to send one snap and 40 minutes later you are still scrolling. Streaks intact, evening gone. Block Spotlights and Snapchat goes back to being a messaging app - which is what it should be.
