Instagram announced on January 19 that a new feature was available. It is aimed at those who seek focus, because we are talking about the dreamed silent mode. The option already present in other apps will serve to stop receiving notifications, such as likes, replies and messages via direct.
In addition, it will inform the user who tries to send you a message that you are in silent mode, so you will not be notified at that time. Do you want to find out how to activate this function on your cell phone? See the step by step.

Instagram silent mode
Always seeking to innovate and bring features that improve the user experience, the platform receives several constant updates. The latest one promises to bring “Do Not Disturb”, which is similar to a silent mode, where notifications and messages are interrupted.
The novelty has already arrived on iOS and Android phones in some countries and will be gradually released to others.
increase focus
A few years ago, Instagram implemented the tool that shows the daily use time of the application by the user. This is for the person to be aware of whether or not they are spending too much time staring at the screens. Now, the new functionality has the main objective of increasing focus while the individual is performing another task.
That's because notifications tend to take the concentration and disrupt anyone's focus.
how to activate
It is important to highlight that you must have the application updated to its latest version if you want to activate the tool. In this case, follow these steps to activate the social network's silent mode:
- Open the application and look for the “sandwich menu” in the upper right corner of the screen;
- Click on the “Settings” option;
- Find the “Quiet Mode” option and click on it;
- Finally, you must configure the tool according to your preferences, choosing which period and how long you want to keep it active.
Ready! Following these steps, the tool is ready and configured for use. Keep in mind that it will only work for the time you set it. When disabled, you will receive notifications normally.
