In today’s time when almost everyone is addicted to social media platforms like Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and more, abstaining from these platforms can pose to be a huge challenge. Sometimes, one starts watching Reels on Instagram and forgets that it’s been 2 hours or more. Since, these platforms are a way to stay in touch with your friends, family, and acquaintances, one cannot go off social media completely, but sometimes one might need to concentrate on something important or unwind. In such a scenario, Instagram’s ‘Quiet Mode’ can come in handy by halting notifications and messages. Let us learn more about this Quiet Mode and how it works.

Quiet Mode on Instagram

When you activate Quiet Mode on your account, your notifications are muted, and pre-set responses are sent to those who message you directly. This will allow you to concentrate on other important tasks at hand or get some rest away from disruptions of Instagram contacts.

The added benefit is that you don’t need to manually enable or disable it as you can set it on an automatic schedule wherein it will get activated itself during certain hours of the day.
