The ‘Quiet Mode’ is part of Instagram’s wider efforts to provide its users with tools to help them manage their time better. In addition to silent mode, tools are being rolled out for parents who want to manage their children’s use.
Not online for a while
The idea behind silent mode seems to be aimed specifically at users who fear being constantly online and replying to messages. In addition to turning off notifications, the mode also changes your status to ‘In Quiet Mode’ and automatically sends a reply to private messages to inform you that the user is not on the phone for a while.
