Is your Instagram profile disturbing your everyday life? Are the constant Instagram notifications causing problems while you’re working or concentrating?
Well, it can become a bummer when you are resting, and suddenly the Instagram notification sounds to break your sleep!
But not anymore! Meta and Instagram have introduced the Quiet Mode feature so that you can regain ownership of your time and life. So, let’s understand what it is and how it works.
What does Quiet Mode mean on Instagram?
By default, Instagram turns on this feature between 11 PM and 7 AM of your local time so that your sleep or rest doesn’t get disturbed by Instagram notifications.
But you can definitely edit the Quiet Mode settings and set it according to your will. You can change it to pause your Instagram notifications every day during the time you choose.
What does Quiet Mode on Instagram do?
The Quiet Mode is one of Instagram’s best features to date. Although Instagram has been bringing features to engage users, this feature does the opposite. It allows you to disconnect from your social media consumption.
Instagram was being labeled unhealthy by several doctors and psychologists as most people spend their daily time on this social platform. Since the average Instagram usage was increasing, the platform introduced Quiet Mode.
It aims to limit your Instagram usage, cut down distractions, improve your concentration, and quality of rest.
Quiet Mode is now rolled out in almost every country worldwide and available for all Instagram users.
What happens when Quiet Mode is turned on?
When Quiet Mode is turned on, you can still go on Instagram, check out stories, and browse your feed. You can even send and receive messages.
But your activity status will be changed to “Quiet Mode.” Also, the green dot showing you’re active turns into a moon icon.
You won’t get notifications from other handles or DMs. Anyone who will DM you on Instagram will get an auto-reply that you have turned on your Quiet Mode. The auto-reply also explains that you’ll only be notified of this message when it’s turned off.
When you turn off your Quiet Mode, a summary of all the Instagram notifications appears. So, you won’t miss out on them.
The Quiet Mode feature is like the “Do Not Disturb” feature on iOS or Android, but it is only for Instagram and does not affect any other app or settings.
How to turn on the Quiet Mode on Instagram?
This feature is only available on the Instagram app in your Android and iOS devices.
- Tap the “human icon” or your profile picture on the bottom right of the app to go to your profile.
- Tap the “three horizontal lines” on the top right to go to your Settings and Activities.
- Now tap on the “bell icon” or Notifications.
- Tap on Quiet Mode.
- Tap the Toggle next to the Quiet Mode to turn it on or off. Once you turn Quiet Mode on, you can change the time it is active for.
You can turn on Quiet Mode on Instagram for 12 hours daily.
Since Quiet Mode allows you to pause your notifications temporarily on Instagram, it can help you focus during productive times. It also helps you take a break from your social media life!
