How to Use Quiet Mode in Facebook on iPhone and Android
Facebook continues to be one of the most popular social media platforms. But spending long periods on the platform can affect your daily routine and raise mental health issues. To feel safe on 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. This is called silent mode, and in this article, we will explain how to use silent mode on Facebook on Android and iPhone.
