Facebook Adds Quiet Mode

[engine]

Facebook has added Quiet Mode in the app which mutes most push notifications.

I don't use the app, but if it's going off all the time it would probably drive me crazy.

I honestly don't understand why they pushed this update now as part of their Covid-19 actions. They give as reasoning:

Whether it’s to help you focus on your family and friends, sleep without distraction or manage how you spend your time at home, we have tools that can help you find the right balance for how you use Facebook.

My idea is that these reasons are valid, with, and without lockdown or stay-at-home orders and could have been implemented much earlier.
