With so much content to binge upon, no wonder why so many people are spending hours on Instagram. It can be hard to disengage from the endless scroll of posts and stories, or the array of filters that make your photos look oh-so-good. But now Instagram has announced a new feature that will help you to take a break from the incessant scrolling.
Quiet Mode on Instagram – What You Need to Know?
Quiet modes are not new, Facebook already has this option in place. But still, if you are an avid Instagram user, this feature might come in handy.
Quiet mode is a great feature for those who feel overwhelmed by their notifications or want to take a break from Instagram without having to explain themselves.
This feature will turn on the auto-reply function, which will let people know that you are away from the Instagram app and unable to reply for a period of time.
Furthermore, you can also silence incoming notifications to enjoy a peaceful break from your feeds. All of this can give you a sense of control over your social media usage and will also encourage healthy boundaries with friends and followers. This might also help in reducing anxiety around spending time away from the app.
