“Even are ads are private…” I don’t think that’s possible. Modern advertisers require those sweet sweet metrics, which can never be truly anonymized, and in most cases attempts to anonymize are half-hearted at best.
Would only be interesting with Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, etc. support. ToS prevent that, so no business would attempt that integration. However, that doesn't mean it can't be done. I look forward to (and might write my own) agent to "read" Twitter, Instagram, etc. and put them into a user friendly and ad-free format.
Interestingly, there was some early work in the timeframe of Android Ice Cream Sandwich (4.x) to create unified social media stream, something that AFAIK was also done with specialized apps on some BlackBerry Android based device IIRC. Didn't go anywhere, probably because of ad revenue needs.

I remember this as more of a Windows Phone thing. From looking at screenshots, the People screen had a What's New tab that may be what I'm remembering. I believe that was intended to pull in latest posts across social media for all contacts.

> I'd also want IM feeds on the same timeline. Like, Messenger, Teams, WhatsApp, etc. Chats: yes. Because each separate chat is a separate room, and ultimately, for a personal use, there are not that many of them. Feeds from social media though? A hard pass. Especially now, when so many people cross-post the same content to multiple networks.

For developers the "Apple tax" is easier. They don't need to deal with refunds or customer complaints about payments not working.
For developers the “Apple tax” is a forced tax slurping up a big portion of our income.

Posts are of different lengths on different social media. And why bother when you can... just split the timelines by service ;)
Still feels like a solvable problem that improves the experience in my book.

I'm less interested in the ads being private as I am in there being no ads at all. Ads are a deal breaker. Maybe they have a paid ad-free tier? I don't want to have to install it to find out.
