Silence the buzz: Discover how to manage your Instagram notifications effectively.

It's time to set a boundary. Are you tired of receiving those late-night dings from your phone? You pick it up and find a client or customer asking about something you’re selling, a product they want to pick up, or whether you're open for the holiday. Here’s your tip to keep your followers informed about what to expect when they message you at 9:30 at night.



Go to your Instagram profile
>Click the 3 lines in the top right corner (Menu icon)
>Click Notifications
>Click Quiet Mode Here you can select the hours of the night (ex: 7pm - 7am Monday, Tuesday Wednesday, & so on).

Once your quiet time has begun, this will display a small half-moon beside your profile photo. When followers come to your page or are about to send you a message, they will see that you are in quiet mode. They can still send you a message, but you will not be notified until quiet time is over.

Enjoy the extra few minutes of peace!
