Facebook is one of the most popular social media apps used by over two billion people worldwide. With almost everyone stuck at home due to COVID-19, it’s no surprise that the app’s usage statistics have increased significantly in recent weeks.

While it’s a great way to stay connected to your network, constant notifications from Facebook can often be a drag for people working from home. Or just too much Facebook for everyone. That’s why it’s cool of Facebook to release a new feature that lets you limit your Facebook usage without losing important updates from your groups and contacts. Let’s take a look.

Quiet Mode is a new feature on Facebook that helps you limit your usage of the app. It allows you to focus on your work without being distracted by constant push notifications. Unlike the previously existing mute feature on Facebook, Quiet Mode helps pause most push notifications from Facebook and even disables badges on your home screen.

This is a step by Facebook towards promoting Digital Wellbeing in their app, something that both Google and Apple are increasingly supporting extensively through their mobile operating systems.
