If there are applications that are not lacking on the smartphones of most users, those are undoubtedly social networks. Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or TikTok keep us entertained for hours and hours ... although unfortunately this can be a problem.
Not only because they fill our device with notifications but also because they can make us less productive, especially if we have to work or study.
So, apps like Facebook have incorporated silent mode earlier this year, which means that we stop receiving notifications from the social network for as long as we want.
What is Facebook silent mode
With silent mode, no more annoying Facebook notifications
Although mobile devices have a Do Not Disturb or Do Not Disturb mode, the truth is that this completely disables all notifications on the device, which we may not want to do.
In case we just want to disable Facebook notifications, we have our silent mode which does not notifies us of any interaction from our social network for as long as we decide.
That is, if we are working we can make sure that Facebook does not notify us of anything until the departure time, in this way there will be no temptation to enter the social network. The same if we are studying. Zero distractions.
How to activate or deactivate silent mode
Fortunately Facebook there makes it very easy to activate this useful mode and the social network is aware that there are times when it is more important to do something other than being aware of the likes and likes.
activate silent mode we just have to:
- Enter the Facebook app
- Access the menu (press the three horizontal stripes)
- Go to Settings and Privacy
- Go to Your Time on Facebook
- Go to Schedule Silent Mode
In this section we can turn silent mode on and off, choose specific times and even activate a reminder for Facebook to notify us that we have activated silent mode in case we have forgotten.
The silent mode silence most push notifications and limit notification points. Obviously when we start the application on the smartphone we will always be reminded that we have activated the silent mode.
It is also true that although most notifications will be blocked as new posts, replies to messages or likes, Facebook reserves the right to notify us of certain notices, such as notifications regarding changes to the privacy or security policy of our account. Notifications via email or SMS will also not be affected.
