How to Turn Off All Instagram Notifications?
As mentioned above, you can turn off all notifications for the app itself, but then you might miss out on any important messages. So, instead, you can use the below-mentioned methods to take a break from annoying app notifications and concentrate on your studies or work. Let’s discuss how to put a stop to all Instagram notifications.
Method 1 – Use Instagram Quiet Mode to Disable Notifications
Earlier this year, Instagram introduced Quiet Mode, specially designed for teens. This, when activated, silences all Instagram notifications and changes your profile’s activity status to let people know. The quiet mode is available in the US, United Kingdom, India, Ireland, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand and will be rolled out to more countries soon. Here’s how to use it:
1. Launch the Instagram app and switch to the profile menu.
2. Tap on the hamburger menu in the top right.
3. From the pop-up menu, select Settings and Privacy.
4. Under Instagram settings, tap on Notifications.
5. Under Notifications, tap on Quiet Mode.
6. Tap the toggle to turn on or enable Quiet Mode.
7. You can choose to Turn on automatically at 11 PM or select your own custom duration for the Quiet mode.
You will not receive any notifications from Instagram during the Quiet mode. It will also change your status to Ïn Quiet Mode” and automatically send an auto-reply when someone sends you a DM. When switched off, it will show you a summary of notifications to catch up quickly.
Method 2 – Pause All Notifications From Instagram
Aside from the Quiet Mode, you can use another built-in option to prevent Instagram from sending push notifications. It is called “Pause All,” as the name suggests, it pauses all notifications for up to eight hours. You will still be able to see the updates when you open Instagram. Here’s how it can be done.
1. Open Instagram on your phone and go to your profile page.
2. Tap the menu (hamburger) icon.
3. From the pop-up menu, access Settings and Privacy and go to Notifications.
4. Tap the toggle next to “Pause all” to enable it
5. Choose the duration for which you want to pause notifications. Instagram will not show any notification for the set duration.
Method 3 – Turn Off All Instagram Notifications
The above solutions turn off Instagram notifications temporarily. If you want to stop these annoying notifications permanently, you can turn off all the notifications for Instagram from settings. Here’s how it can be done:
1. Go to the Instagram app info page from the Application settings on your Android phone.
2. Tap the Notifications option and toggle off the toggle for All Instagram Notifications.
This will stop all notifications from Instagram unless you manually enable them, or you can launch the app to check your updates.
Bonus – Set Up Take a Break Reminder on Instagram
Using Instagram for a prolonged period is an unhealthy habit, but the platform is designed in such a way as to keep you hooked. So, to remedy this, Instagram has the “Take a break” feature, which reminds users to stop scrolling and put down their devices for a while every 10, 20, or 30 minutes past the set limit.
