Instagram Launches a New Feature Quiet Mode

In the announcement on the official Meta website, by activating the Quiet Mode feature, users will not receive any notifications from Instagram and cannot reply to messages (DM).

Instagram is enhancing its time management tool by launching a new feature called Quiet Mode. This feature can help users to "detox" or take a short break from social media.

In the announcement on the official Meta website, by activating the Quiet Mode feature, users will not receive any notifications from Instagram and cannot reply to messages (DM). Your Quiet Mode status will also display on your profile, so friends on the platform know you're not active.

Especially for teenage users, Instagram will activate this feature at night. To date, Instagram has several youth safety features, including features to protect teen privacy, reduce unwanted adult contact, limit ad targeting, restrict access to adult content, and parental controls.

Quiet Mode joins several other screen time management tools Instagram now offers, including daily time spent controls that allow people to manage their use of the app and send themselves alerts when time is running out.

The presence of Quiet Mode is not only introduced so that users have a break from social media, but also to focus on the real world. They can choose to rest — study, sleep, or escape. When exiting this mode, the app will offer a summary of what was missed during the break.
