Digital wellbeing is something that a lot of tech companies are starting to work on quite earnestly and a big part of the reason why that is the case has to do with the fact that they know that users are developing a healthy relationship with technology and a combination of public pressure as well as internal reviewing has led to the development of a wide variety of digital wellbeing features being added to apps that these tech companies own and are a part of.
Facebook started working on a “Your Time on Facebook” dashboard back in 2018 and this lead to a lot of improvements to the platform. The latest addition to this dashboard is a Quiet mode that you can toggle on manually or simply schedule to work at a specific time if that is what you would prefer to do. This will help prevent you from being bombarded with notifications which can be a genuine problem in a lot of ways since it can prevent you from being able to make the most of the kind of phone usage you may be looking for all in all.
However, this doesn’t mean that you will never get any notifications from Facebook ever again. The fact of the matter is that there are certain notifications that the social media platform is legally required to send out, such as privacy policy updates and the like. However, at the end of the day this is a feature that is going to help you use this social media platform in a much healthier manner than might have been the case otherwise, and making the most of the platform is going to be the sort of thing that you would definitely enjoy doing all in all now that you have so many digital wellness features to utilize.
