Instagram has a new feature called Quiet Mode that helps you take a break from social media so you can put your phone down and manage your time without any notification distractions. It's basically a Do Not Disturb setting for Instagram.
When Quiet Mode is turned on, notifications are turned off and an auto-reply is sent to people when they DM you.When the feature is turned off, all of your DMs and other notifications will be sent in one batch, so you won't miss anything.
