What is the Do Not Disturb mode?

Do Not Disturb is a feature on smartphones and tablets that silences most if not all, incoming notifications. This can include phone calls, text messages, and app notifications. The action that would generate a notification still occurs, but the notification will be silenced and won’t activate the device’s display. This feature exists on both iOS and Android devices.

On an iPhone, you can turn on Do Not Disturb mode by swiping down from the top of your Home Screen to open the Control Center and tap the crescent moon icon. You can also ask Siri to turn Do Not Disturb on or off. If you use Share Across Devices in your Focus settings, a notification that Do No Disturb is on or off will appear on your other Apple devices.

On an Android device, you can turn on Do Not Disturb mode by going to Settings > Sound > Do Not Disturb. You can also create exceptions for specific contacts or apps so that they can still reach you even when Do Not Disturb is on.

Do Not Disturb can be a helpful way to avoid distractions and focus on what you’re doing. It can also be beneficial to get a good night’s sleep without being disturbed by notifications.
