Do Not Disturb (DND) mode is useful for eliminating any distractions coming from your phone. Whether you are in a meeting or watching a movie in the cinema, you can enable DND mode on your phone to avoid disturbing yourself and others. Sometimes you may receive notifications even in active DND mode. Here’s why you get notifications when do not disturb mode is on, and tips to avoid frequent interruptions.
DND mode working on your phone is not effective in front of a series of notifications. Both Android and iOS allow users to set exceptions for DND mode. For example, you can create exceptions for your email or social network clients in DND mode and continue to receive notifications from them. You may have forgotten about such exceptions. Check out how to remove such conditions from do not disturb mode.
