Watch on delay. Skip the spoilers.

If you're watching a game later, here's how to stay spoiler-free across the apps on your phone.

The hardest part of watching on delay isn't the sports app you choose. It's every notification, feed, and friend group chat that leaks the score first.

No Noise Scores can't silence your friends, but it won't spoil you while the app is open. Here's how to set up the rest.

Step 1. Turn No-Spoilers on

Open the app. Tap Alerts & Notifications in the bottom nav. Toggle No-Spoilers at the top of the screen.

That's the one switch. From this point forward, every score, headline, series state, and recap is blurred until you tap to reveal. Push notification bodies stay vague.

Step 2. Confirm the contract

Before you start the game, spot-check the contract:

  • Open Today. You should see a small muted dot in the header indicating No-Spoilers is on.
  • Tap into any game you've already played. Score should be blurred. Headline should be "Game wrapped." not "X took it."
  • Tap your team's series page. Series state should be "Series context hidden." not "NY leads 3-1."
  • If you have alerts on, the next push you get should not name a score or winner.

Anything leaks? Tell us. The contract is end-to-end on purpose.

Step 3. During the game

Open the app while you watch if you want a real-time companion. The score stays blurred. Series state stays hidden. The Quiet Recap card that fires at the end of the night stays hidden too.

Want to peek at the score? Tap the blurred number. It reveals just that one element, not the whole page. The blur comes back on the next visit unless you turn No-Spoilers off.

Step 4. When you're done

Watched the game? Turn No-Spoilers off in Alerts & Notifications. You don't need to leave it on. Though many users do because it keeps the app calmer overall.

If you watch on delay regularly

Keep No-Spoilers on as your default. The reveal mechanic per element means you can use the app live too. Just tap any score you want to see. The “hide first, reveal on demand” model is actually the right default for anyone who finds sports apps overwhelming, not just delay-watchers.
