The Instagram Quiet Mode has been announced as a new feature for users to utilize as a way to help them take some time off of the social media app, while also quelling their anxiety about doing so.
The feature works by having users set the time period they’d like to take a break, which will silence incoming notifications, put their status as In Quiet Mode and also auto-reply to direct messages that they aren’t active at the moment. The new feature will be prompted to teens who are using the app late at night to encourage them to take a break.
The Instagram Quiet Mode could help users to reduce the amount of time they spend on the app and comes as one of a growing number of tools that support social media breaks.
