Meanwhile, Meta-owned photo sharing and messaging app Instagram has recently announced a new feature for its users. Called the Quiet mode, the feature is aimed to help encourage users to fix boundaries with friends and followers. It is aimed to reduce the users’ anxiety about spending time away from the app by silencing incoming notifications and auto-replying to direct messages (DMs).
With the new feature, Instagram users will be able to set an account’s status to ‘In Quiet Mode’ to alert the followers that the users are not actIve on the platform. Instagram says that the new feature is targeted to teenage users to encourage them to reduce their screen time.
