Facebook has positioned itself as one of the most used and popular social networks in the world in recent times.
Facebook has been in the social media market for more than 10 years, it has kept its users implementing various updates.
One of the latest updates and novelties that Facebook has is the implementation of “Silent Mode”, one of its new tools.
Being on the social network Facebook can be quite addictive and in some cases distracting, so its new “Silent Mode” tool is designed to prevent this from happening.
What is Facebook’s ‘Silent Mode’ and what does it mean?
Facebook’s “Silent Mode” means exactly what its name suggests , it is based on a mode that completely silences the application.
Many users of the social network Facebook have decided to call this mode as ‘Do not disturb mode’ or ‘Disconnect mode’.
Facebook is usually a fairly addictive social network, spending hours on it has become quite common in the last decade , but it can also be distracting.
At times it is necessary to dedicate yourself completely to work or study and for this it is necessary to avoid any distraction such as Facebook.
With Facebook’s new “Silent Mode” it will be possible to stop receiving any kind of notification, so if you have Facebook downloaded to your Android or iOS phone, notifications will no longer be a problem.
Another advantage of Facebook’s “Silent Mode” is that by silencing notifications it will be possible to save more battery on the Android or iOS cell phone.
Facebook’s “Silent Mode” can be activated for an indeterminate time or schedule its activation, in addition to entering Facebook, it issues a silent notification about deactivating said mode.
How to activate and deactivate the ‘Silent Mode’ of Facebook?
Activating or deactivating the “Silent Mode” of Facebook is extremely simple whether you have the application downloaded on an Android or iOS device.
Although activating or deactivating this mode is very easy on some phones, the option is not yet available or is not visible.
To activate or deactivate Facebook’s “Silent Mode” it will only be necessary to open the application on the Android or iOS device.
Once inside the application, it will be necessary to go to the application settings , for this it will be necessary to click on the 3 horizontal stripes at the top.

Alternative to Facebook’s ‘Silent Mode’
Some phones still do not have the Facebook “Silent Mode” tool or option to disable Facebook notifications.
In this case there are several alternatives to prevent notifications from appearing on the device and no, they do not have to do with uninstalling Facebook from the device.
The first option is to update Facebook to the latest version , this can be done from the Google Play Store regardless of the device in question.
In case of having Facebook lite, there are several differences and one of them is that the Lite version does not have the “Silent Mode”, so in this the most recommended is to silence or deactivate notifications in Facebook Lite.
A last solution is based on deactivating Facebook notifications directly on the device, be it Android or iOS.
