About Masked

This extension allows you to access only the Messages tab while blocking your feed and explore page so you can focus on work without being disturbed. People don't like sharing their contact info for iMessage or WhatsApp but like to remain in contact with friends through Instagram. Thus, this extension allows you to remain in contact with your Insta friends without being distracted
