Quiet hours pause everything except Tier 1 (critical) notifications during a window you pick. Default is 22:00 to 08:00 in your local timezone.
Set your quiet hours
Open Settings → Notifications
Scroll to the Quiet hours card.
Set the start and end times
Both times use your device's timezone, so they follow you when you travel. (We resync next time you open the app rather than tracking your location.)
(Optional) pick which days apply
Default is every day. Many people switch to "weekdays only" so weekend mornings stay quiet.
What still comes through
| Notification | Paused? |
|---|---|
| Event cancellations for events you've RSVP'd to | No |
| Host broadcasts marked urgent | No |
| Security alerts (new sign-in, password change) | No |
| Messages from your "Always reach me" list | No |
| Friend posts, reactions, comments | Yes |
| Standard DMs | Yes |
| Weekly digest | Yes (delivered when quiet hours end) |
"Always reach me"
Open a friend's profile, tap the 3-dot menu → Always reach me. Their messages bypass quiet hours but nothing else about the friendship changes. Reserve it for partners, parents, or anyone you can't afford to miss in an emergency.
One schedule across all channels
Quiet hours apply to push, email, and SMS together - you can't have different schedules per channel. If you need finer control, route specific tiers to specific channels instead. See Notification channels.
