Mobile users lack an easy, built-in way to communicate privately on state-sponsored social media platforms because browser extensions are not well-supported on mobile devices.

Workarounds Described

• tries to use browser extensions on desktop
• installs extensions on Safari for iOS through unintuitive steps
• avoids using Android browsers that support extensions due to low user base

Implied Software Gaps

• Mobile app that natively provides private communication on social platforms without extensions
• Simplified extension installation or native support on mobile browsers for privacy tools
• Universal private messaging layer that works across all devices and browsers seamlessly
