I can’t speak for Facebook, but instagram already offers this (click the logo in the top left). Would be nice to get it as a default, however
That's good. They added that after I stopped using Instagram from the looks of it. I couldn't stand the political reactionism that was being forced down my throat, so I have up on it.

I still won't use it for other political reasons, but at least it seems like the app isn't unusable anymore.

This is why the model is doomed. Even if they offer a subscription service, the platform is still built to serve ads, along with all of the user hostile behavior that made Facebook horrible.

Imagine how different things would look if Facebook adopted a subscription model early on before they became an ad-infested pile of garbage.

It already exists, although it's kinda hidden.
Yep. Just bookmark https://www.facebook.com/?filter=friends&sk=h_chr

Though unfortunately it won't save you from friends re-sharing content from random websites.

web version offers this no? the app is only good for group chats or mindless reels scrolling
I don't know
