What is Quiet Mode on Instagram Messages?

You might have faced this message when sending DM to someone on Instagram:

Wasn't Notified About This Message Because They're In Quiet Mode.

This means that the notification of your message will not be sent to the person, because the Instagram quiet mode is activated.

Quiet mode is an account setting in the Instagram app that any user can use to silence app notifications. As mentioned earlier, Instagram sees this as an opportunity not only to improve user account settings, but also to help fight smartphone addiction, which is more practical than many realize.

Using this feature, Instagramers can silence notifications (including messages) so that no one is disturbed when they are busy or taking a break. Smartphone addiction is a reality for many Instagram users, and the Quiet Mode setting aims to help people who may be struggling with such an addiction.
