"Users can switch Fasting Mode on or off anytime from the Swiggy app. Once activated, food notifications will be paused between Suhoor (pre-dawn) and 4 PM for all users observing fasting during Ramzan Notifications automatically resume after fasting hours, without users having to turn them back on," Swiggy said in an official statement.

 The mode would be available throughout the year for various fasting occasions, giving users more flexibility in managing their food notifications.
