Meta-owned Instagram is no longer just a platform for sharing photos and videos. It has become such a social media app where people are constantly connected through posts, reels, stories and direct messages. But many times such a situation arises when we want to send a message to someone, without disturbing them.

Understanding this need, Instagram has introduced “Silent” or “Muted” DM feature. The message sent through this feature reaches the receiver, but no notification sound is played in his phone.

What is silent DM on Instagram?

Silent DM is a message that reaches the receiver’s inbox without any notification sound. This means that the other person will receive the message, but will not be bothered by the sudden notification.

This feature is especially useful for late night messaging or non-emergency messages.

What is the difference between Mute feature and Silent Message?

Both features are created for different purposes:

• Mute feature:
  It is used by the receiver. When a chat is muted, notifications of messages from that chat do not come.
• Silent Message:
  It is used by the sender. In this, the sender himself decides whether the message should be sent without sound.

In short, mute is for receiving and silent is for sending messages.

When should you send a silent DM?

• while sending messages late at night
• No important but informative message
• To not disturb anyone during office hours
• to respect someone’s personal space
• When sending gentle reminders
