Instagram's 'Quiet Mode' is a time management and focus tool that helps users use the app more responsibly. It allows Instagram users to mute their push notifications when they take a break from the app.

Here's everything you need to know about the new Silent Mode feature, what it is, what it does, and how to easily turn it on and off.

As the name suggests, the Silent Mode feature is a way for users to mute incoming notifications of likes, comments, DMs, etc. Silent Mode can also be set to turn on automatically at certain times, allowing users to set healthy boundaries so that they can focus on their studies or work at certain times of the day.

Instagram will also prompt teens to enable this new feature if they spend too much time on Instagram, especially in the evenings. It's unclear exactly how many hours you need to spend on Instagram in the evenings for this prompt to appear.
