With people spending more time on social platforms amid the COVID-19 lockdowns, Facebook has added a new 'Quiet Mode' option to help better manage and control your Facebook usage, while it's also revamped its 'Your Time on Facebook' listings in order to provide users with more information as to how, exactly, they're spending their time in the app.

As explained by Facebook:

"As we all adjust to new routines and staying home, setting boundaries for how you spend your time online can be helpful. We've added Quiet Mode, which mutes most push notifications, and if you try to open Facebook while in Quiet Mode, you’ll be reminded that you set this time aside to limit your time in the app. We've also added shortcuts to Notification Settings and News Feed Preferences, so you can make the most of your time on Facebook by controlling the type of posts you see in your News Feed as well as the updates you receive."
