So, you’ve stumbled across Tumblr Live and the thought of it just makes you want to throw your phone out the window—calm down, we’re not doing anything that drastic. Let’s face it, sometimes we just want to lounge around in our digital PJs and scroll through our feed without interruptions. So how do you achieve total serenity? Buckle up, friend, because I’m about to walk you through the glamorous journey to blissfully evict Tumblr Live from your life.
First of all, you may think the simplest answer is to just ignore the pesky feature. This is gravely underestimating the sheer audacity of Tumblr Live. It’ll pop up like an unwanted party guest without an RSVP. So instead of rolling your eyes and just scrolling past that unwanted live stream, let’s get proactive and send it packing for good.
To kick Tumblr Live into the metaphorical corner, all you need to do is perform a modern miracle known as “navigating settings.” I know it sounds like an epic quest worthy of your favorite Adventure Time episode, but fear not. Just follow these simple steps, and you will emerge victorious!
First, open your Tumblr app. Yes, that little icon that you keep on your home screen for sanity. Once you’re in, you’ll want to glide over to the Account icon. Don’t have a star map? It’s the little icon with your profile picture—easy peasy.
Once you’ve arrived at your Account Settings, it’s time to channel your inner Sherlock Holmes and search for the Dashboard Preferences option. This is your treasure map. Go ahead and select it like you’re picking out a gourmet cupcake—carefully and with great anticipation.
Next, scroll down like you’re searching for the last slice of pizza at a party. Keep those fingers moving! And lo and behold, at the very bottom of the screen, you’ll find the magic words: “Snooze Tumblr Live for the next seven days.” There it is, your ticket out of the fray! All you have to do is toggle that switch, and voila! It’s like flipping a switch to a world devoid of live streams. Are your eyes wide with glee yet?
But wait, there’s more! (Yes, there is always more.) You can reset this snoozy act after the initial seven days. What kind of futuristic time machine is this? You don’t have to wait too long before you can doze off Tumblr Live again. Go ahead, live your life like the carefree soul you are, blissfully unaware of any live broadcasts, unless you want to tune in for a specific event.
Now, if you change your mind after the week, and are suddenly craving some live-action content, you can easily turn that toggle back on. Just think of it as being on the wild ride rollercoaster—sometimes you’ll want the thrill, and other times you just want to take a nap (figuratively, unless naps are your jam).
So remember, you have the power. With just a touch and a scroll, you can decide whether or not to indulge in the chaos of Tumblr Live. Now go forth, my digital warrior, and reclaim your scrolling experience! No one can disrupt your blissful scroll when you’re equipped with these handy tips. 🌟
