Facebook today presents a novelty concerning its iOS and Android application. It is a silent mode which cuts off push notifications. The social network specifies that this concerns “most notifications”, but does not say which ones are exempt and can always be received.
This mode, which can be activated manually or configured to be activated daily for a certain period, will also display a message on the screen when you open the Facebook application. The user is warned that the silent mode is activated with a timer indicating the remaining time. You can touch the button displayed at the bottom of the screen to go to the settings and make adjustments.

Facebook says it has also added shortcuts to notifications and news feed settings to more easily control what you see when you open the app.
Silent mode is available from today on iOS and Android. You have to open the Facebook application, touch the three horizontal bars in the navigation bar. Then go to the āYour time spent on Facebookā section to find it. The social network warns that this is a gradual deployment and that some people do not have the silent mode today. It will actually be available to everyone in May.
