Once you’ve owned smartphones from two different platforms, you’ll see the positives and negatives of both. Sometimes, you wish you could aggregate the pluses of each. We have seen how we can get iOS-like notifications on our Android. This feature makes it easy for us to access and read notifications without unlocking the phone and really saves time. Today I’ll show you how to bring another great iPhone feature – Do Not Disturb mode – to Android.
Do Not Disturb is a setting for iPhone that completely silences your phone during specific hours of the day so you won’t be disturbed by any calls and notifications unless it’s an emergency. We’ve done a detailed article on all aspects testing; go see. This feature is really cool to help you get a good night’s sleep and I don’t know why we still haven’t seen this feature on Android even after so many updates.
Shadow Keeper for Android
Thanks to the great developers and open source nature of the platform, we always find an alternative and this time a simple app called Nights Keeper. So let’s see how we can use the app and bring DND (Do Not Disturb) feature to our droid.
Once you install and launch the app, you’ll see some predefined DND timers for weekdays and weekends, and an infinity sign for do not disturb mode indefinitely. Now if you want to enable this feature for a predetermined period of time, tap the option to select it.
To add a new calendar time, tap the + button on the app and configure the start and end intervals. When you edit an existing module or create a new one, you get many additional configuration settings. The application has an entire contact list that can be used to filter calls when DND is enabled. This way the callers you choose will come no matter what.
Another cool feature of the app is an alarm mode that you can set up to trigger after a certain number of missed calls. If the same person calls you too many times, the app will allow calls from that person to ring. So if anyone is trying to contact you in an emergency, the app will let that person through.
You can also choose the ringtone volume during these calls, or specify a soothing ringtone, as soon as the DND profile lasts.
Those are features that are limited to the free version of the app. In the pro version (available via in-app purchase for $2.99), you can answer blocked calls with SMS so they’ll be notified that you’re in DND mode. The app also has a power saving mode that optimizes your battery performance when you are in DND mode. You can choose to disable cellular radios such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth after the DND configuration has completed one cycle.
In addition, you can create a backup of your settings in the SD card from the settings menu and configure some advanced settings, notification priority and SMS.
Conclusion
So that’s how you can get iOS-like Do Not Disturb on your Android. There are a lot of apps available on the Play Store for this task, but the reason I chose Nights Keeper over others is because, of the other apps that actually work, it has the fewest limitations of all. free version. In addition, the application interface is very clear and can be easily configured to fit one’s needs. Don’t forget to download and install the app and let us know how you rate it.
