What is Instagram’s Quit mode?

Quiet mode allows you to automatically pause your Instagram notifications every day during the time period you choose. The default setting is every night from 11 PM to 7 AM. However, you can edit these hours.

When you’re in quiet mode, you can still use Instagram and send and receive messages. Your activity status will change to “In quiet mode,” and the green active dot will change to a moon icon. People who message you will get an auto-reply that explains you won’t be notified about their messages during this time.

When quiet mode ends, you’ll get a summary of any new notifications or messages you received while you were in quiet mode.
