Instagram rolls out ‘Quiet Mode’, its own version of ‘Do Not Disturb’

Hindustan Times  

Instagram on Thursday rolled out its own version of ‘Do not disturb’ with a new feature called ‘quiet mode’ for users in the United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Once enabled, the feature will pause all notifications, auto-reply to messages and update your activity status to ‘in quiet mode’. The latest Data.ai report has found Instagram to be the most used social media app by Gen Z. Amidst criticism over social media’s harmful effects on young adults, the ‘quiet mode’ is the latest in a series of attempts by Meta to give users more control over their digital footprints. Recently, Instagram introduced ‘nudges’, which alerts teenagers spending too much time on a particular topic - especially comparing appearances - to change content, parental supervision tools to set time limits for kids, and recommendations of non-social media related activities for users to take a break from the app.
