So you can also choose how many hours you want to keep silent mode. If you turn it off again, you get a quick list of notifications you missed. Anyone can use it, but it is recommended for teenagers a little faster.

Recommended content

Of course, all sorts of things are recommended when scrolling on Instagram and you don’t always expect that. Instagram now allows you to hide different types of content in the Explore tab. You can select you are not interested if you come across something like this. Instagram then tries not to pass on similar content. You can also choose certain words and emoji for recommended messages: if they appear, you will not see the content.

At the moment Silent Mode is not yet available for the Dutch: it will initially appear in the US, UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
