Instagram Quiet Mode

As the public’s awareness of the concerns relating to social media apps and platforms increases, we’re seeing the popular apps beginning to finally implement better tools – for safety, well being and to mitigate excessive screen time usage.

Now I don’t know about you but notifications on social media apps and platforms can be a real distraction.

Click on them – and before you know it – you’re down another rabbit hole.

Yes, notifications alert us to a new email or message but they are also one of the key drivers for sucking us back into a particular app – to consume endless content.

Of course a lot of what we view online can be really useful. But scrolling and passively consuming content for hours on end is disruptive to the important things in life. It can affect sleep, family time, relationships, socialising, being productive and how healthy and productive we are in our lives in general.

Taking time out from social media is a good idea, always.

This can allow us to be fully present in the moment and focus on our day-to-day lives with limited distractions.

I find I can reconnect with myself, the people around me, and our wonderful physical world.

One popular app, Instagram has developed a new feature called Quiet Mode. According to Meta, it’s ‘to help people focus and to encourage people to set boundaries with their friends and followers’.

When you turn on Quiet Mode, notifications will be paused, your profile’s activity status will change to ‘Quiet Mode’ and any DMs you receive will get an autoreply.

I’m a big believer in setting boundaries around the use of and the time we spend on social media apps so I’ve created this short video to show you how to set up Quiet Mode on Instagram.

So take a few moments to check out the video below. It’ll be time well spent to help you spend your time well 😊.  Need help with setting up screen time tools in your home or device?  Book a 1 to 1 session with me.  Click here to find out more
