If you are on an android phone what supports shelter[1], I can recommend installing "social" apps inside the shelter, and just sleep the apps when you don't use them.

In regards to windows, it feels to me as morphing into a solution for large corporations if disregarding the tabloid news while leaving private users just waiting for a friendly OS to be presented for them.

Not quite as good, but you can turn off background app refresh on iOS to cripple their ability to do anything, though I believe push notifications come via Apple’s server anyway.
I hadn't heard of Shelter before but this looks really neat!
