Hushfacebook v0.5.0 gathers everything since v0.4.0. It targets Facebook 580.0.0.51.74 and still supports 577.0.0.50.72, now with 51 patches, up from 43.
New patches
- Hide the Reels tab dot. No more red dot or number on the Reels tab (called Video on some accounts). Notifications, Marketplace and the other tabs keep their badges. On by default.
- Hide the Reels tab. Takes the Reels tab off the tab bar, and its shortcut out of the long-press menu of Facebook's icon. Reel links and reels in your feed still open (#26).
- Keep the reel speed. Pick a speed once and the next reels play at it (#25). On by default.
- Hold a reel for 2x. Press and hold a playing reel for double speed, let go to go back. Facebook's own pull-down lock works with it.
- Default playback quality. Data saver, Up to 480p, Up to 720p or Highest, for reels and videos.
- Turn off double tap to like. A double tap on a reel or video no longer likes it. The Like button still does.
- Open Messenger from the top bar. The Messenger icon at the top opens the Messenger app instead of Facebook's Chats (#19). In the default selection, with its switch off until you turn it on.
- View stories anonymously. Watch stories without being added to their viewer lists (#24).
Fixes and changes
- Feed. The "Suggested for you" row of groups to join is hidden again. Facebook now sends it as one of its own promo cards, so it got past the filter.
- Marketplace. Search results lose their ads too, with no gaps left behind (#29).
- Saves. Stories and VP9 reels save at full quality with their sound, and a switch makes saves that CapCut and InShot can open.
- AMOLED and Material You. Cards turn black on the black page (#27), and the Android 15 bars follow the theme.
- Messenger. A Messenger patched with the same Manager key works with your Facebook both ways, including signing in with Continue as.
- Diagnostic reports leave out more IDs and tokens, and say why the feed was allowed to refresh.
The changelog has every change.
Update
- Refresh the Hushfacebook source in Morphe Manager 1.32.0 or newer.

The .mpp download is a patch bundle, not a Facebook APK. Installation instructions.
Known limitations
Every new patch was tried on a phone, and the changelog says what each check covered. A few fixes were checked with automated tests only, mostly in the diagnostic report and settings. The AI-detected reels filter still hasn't met a reel Facebook has flagged. Some reports still need the reporter's details, including WhatsApp import (#11), Xiaomi Gallery sound (#14), Media settings (#12) and a missing Reel Download button (#18).
Review diagnostic reports before sharing them. The filter can still miss private text it doesn't recognise.
Validation
Local checks passed: 1327 runtime tests and 565 patch tests with no failures, plus both Android lints and the release-script checks. All 51 patches applied without forcing to both supported Facebook builds, with no resource or injected-code structural errors. The dependency advisory check found no advisory for gson 2.14.0, kotlin-stdlib 2.4.20 or annotations 13.0.
