Do constant Instagram notifications leave you feeling exhausted and mentally drained? It’s time to take control and learn how to enable Quiet Mode on Instagram.
Millions of people around the world use Instagram, a popular social media app to keep up with their friends, followers, and even their favourite celebrities. However, the constant pressure of staying connected and up-to-date can take a toll on our mental health and wellbeing. Thankfully, Instagram has recognized this and created the Quiet Mode feature to help users take a break from the app.
Quiet Mode allows users to disable notifications from Instagram, giving you some much-needed peace and quiet. You can choose to turn Quiet Mode on manually, or you can set an automatic time for it to turn on and off. Plus, younger users will receive prompts to enable Quiet Mode if they have been using the app late at night, helping to prioritize their studies and sleep.
Once you turn on Quiet Mode, anyone who tries to message you will receive an automatic message informing them that your notifications are off. And don’t worry, when you turn off Quiet Mode, or it turns off automatically, Instagram will give you a rundown of your notifications from while you were offline.
Quiet Mode is currently available for users in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, with plans to expand to more countries soon. So, how can you enable Quiet Mode on Instagram?
