Quiet mode on Instagram is a feature that allows users to pause their notifications automatically during a specific time period of their choice. It is a tool that helps people focus and encourages them to set boundaries with their friends and followers. When enabled, it turns off notifications and sends an auto-reply when someone sends a direct message (DM) to let them know that the user is not available. Quiet mode is available to everyone in the US, United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
To activate Quiet mode, users need to follow these steps:
- Open the Instagram app.
- Tap on your profile picture in the bottom right corner.
- Go to the Settings tab and click on Notifications.
- Click on Quiet Mode.
- Push the Quiet Mode slider to the right.
- Choose how long you want Quiet Mode on. You can set it to turn on automatically and stay on for up to 12 hours.
Once Quiet mode is enabled, notifications will be paused, and the users profile activity status will change to "Quiet Mode". When someone sends a DM, they will receive an autoreply message to let them know that the user is not available. When the feature is turned off, a brief summary of notifications missed will be shown. Anyone can use Quiet mode, but Instagram will prompt teens to do so when they spend a specific amount of time on Instagram late at night.
In summary, Quiet mode is a feature on Instagram that allows users to pause their notifications and send an auto-reply when someone sends them a DM. It is a tool that helps people focus and encourages them to set boundaries with their friends and followers.
