What is the silent mode of Instagram and how it works

Instagram is incorporating many new features into its interface. It was on January 19 when it announced its latest updates, which can be very interesting for its users. Thus, it is sought to be a social network focused on the publication of videos, as simple as possible for those who use it and, above all, that stands out for its discretion and privacy.

One of these new additions is the ‘Silent mode’, which will help us reduce dependence on Instagram. Therefore, this will prevent the application from becoming an obsession for those who use it and, above all, the number of hours in front of the screen will drop considerably.

This last point is one of the most important, since, in recent years, we have all been very aware of the use of new technologies, especially among children and adolescents. There are many young people who are not able to concentrate on their studies and, even, do not enjoy their social life for being glued to a mobile.

The ‘silent mode’ will help, above all, with what is related to notifications and messages that we can see on our mobile. There are many people who wait to find out how many ‘likes’ they have received on their photo or how many reactions they accumulate in their stories. Therefore, with this update we will can turn off sound notifications generated by the application itself. Also, automatic responses can be created where it is indicated that you are in a rest period.

Instagram will also take care that do not use it for a long time application. To do this, in the event that the app is used at night, a notification will be issued warning that the ‘silent mode’ will have to be connected again. Therefore, the time of use can be controlled very well.

These new updates include the option for parents to have more control over their teens’ accounts. In this way, parents will be able to review the accounts that have been blocked. Also, in the ‘To explore‘, will be configured with personalized content adapted to you.
