Instagram has announced a new tool under its time management section, the ‘Quiet Mode’. This allows users to take a break from the app by muting notifications, auto-replying to DMs, and setting status to ‘In Quiet Mode’ to inform others that one is not inactive.

Instagram tweeted a post providing a brief on the feature.
In addition, Instagram said it will send out an alert to teens to enable the feature if they’re using the app late at night for a “short” period, but the company did not specify the details on what it considers short.
‘Quiet Mode’ lets Instagrammers take a break from the app to study, sleep, or rest their eyes. Once Quiet Mode is turned off, the app will offer a summary of all the things users have missed.
