How to Use Quiet Mode in Facebook on iPhone and Android

Facebook continues to be one of the most preferred social media platforms. But spending extended periods on the platform can affect your daily routine and raise mental health concerns. To feel safe from the platform, you can hide likes on Facebook to improve your focus.

Facebook also includes a feature that lets you manage your screen time on the app. It’s called Quiet Mode, and in this post, we will explain how to use Quiet Mode on Facebook on Android and iPhone.

What Does Quiet Mode Mean on Facebook

Quiet Mode is like Screen Time on iPhone and Digital Wellbeing on Android. If you spend too much time scrolling your feed or watching Reels on the app, you can use Quiet Mode to set a reminder after you use an app for a particular time or limit notifications from Facebook. If you put Facebook on Quiet Mode, you will see a reminder when you try opening the app.

Before showing you the steps, we recommend updating the version of Facebook on your Android or iPhone.
