Instagram has launched a ‘quiet mode’ feature to turn off notifications and send an auto-reply.
The profile status will also change when the feature is enabled.
“We will prompt teens to enable Quiet mode when they spend a specific amount of time on Instagram late at night,” the company said in a blog post. At present, the feature is available in the US, UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand and is expected to launch in more countries soon.

In addition, the platform also lets users control their recommendations. When a user selects ‘not interested’ on a post seen in explore tab, Instagram will avoid showing similar content in Reels and searches. Users can add words, emojis, and hashtags that they may want to avoid in feeds.
