What is quiet mode on Instagram?
Quiet mode on Instagram is a feature designed to help you take a break from notifications without having to mute everything manually. It’s Instagram’s way of encouraging healthier social media habits by allowing users to silence notifications during specific hours, so you can focus on what’s important.
How does quiet mode work?
Once quiet mode is activated, Instagram pauses all notifications for the time you’ve scheduled. Anyone who tries to message you will get an automatic reply saying you’re currently unavailable. Instagram also gives you a summary of notifications once quiet mode ends, so you won’t miss anything important. The best part is that you can customize it for bedtime, work hours, or any period when you want to reduce distractions.

- Head to your Instagram profile and tap the three lines in the top right corner.
- Select “Settings” and then tap “Notifications.”
- Scroll to find “Quiet Mode” and toggle it on.
- Set the specific hours you want it to be active, and you’re all set!
