I'm quite new to github so see this more as an enhancement rather than bug.

I was wondering if you could modify or create another tweak that can permanently disable the Spotlight feature on snapchat. So far RemoveDiscover has worked wonders and i was wondering if you could modify it to remove spotlight too?

Hi, that would be possible. But the problem is that snapchat is very strict and any modifications to the app are very risky. I have to look if it’s possible then.

ooops only closed when it’s implemented:)

Haha, thanks.

I'm just trying to block all sources of distractions such as YouTube, Snapchat discover and Snapchat Spotlight. It's all a bit distraction and quite frankly, annoying.

Found a viable solution, you can use NextDNS to see all traffic activity and you're able to block it.

Examples of hosts: .aws-proxy-gcp.api.snapchat.com .europe-west1-gcp.api.snapchat.com

Blocking these within your /etc/hosts file could work and disable spotlight without tampering with the app.

Pay attention to any hostnames/subdomains that contains "proxy" or "gcp" in it
