What is Quiet Mode on Instagram?
Quiet Mode on Instagram is an interesting feature to mute the notification on your account or take a break from Instagram for a few hours. In other words, it temporarily turns off the push notifications. This feature helps you to set the limit on engaging in social media activity for too long. It also sends auto-reply to your Instagram followers when they try to DM you.
Meta said that when Quiet Mode is enabled on your account, other users cannot send the Direct Message, and they will get the “[Instagram User] wasn’t notified about this message because they’re in quiet mode” message when they try to send a message.

Already, Instagram has a Time Spent feature to track the average time you spend per day, and you can set a daily time limit and a reminder to take regular breaks. But it will not stop the push notifications and messages. So, Instagram has introduced Quiet Mode to completely turn off notifications and messages during a particular time period.
