The "Do Not Disturb" feature on an iPhone is an excellent way to block any calls, texts or other notifications from making your phone light up or ring.
You can turn it on manually or schedule it to turn on automatically at certain times of the day. I often use it when I go to bed. Of course, the notifications and alerts will be stored on your phone, and you can check them anytime. This is how to easily turn "Do Not Disturb" on or off on your iPhone:
You can also set your phone to be on "Do Not Disturb" during certain hours of the day:
In addition, should you have an event marked in your calendar, you may get a prompt asking if you want "Do Not Disturb" turned on during those scheduled hours.
HOW TO UNLOCK AN APPLE DEVICE WHEN ITS OWNER DIES
Having "Do Not Disturb" on can result in missing a very important, or even emergency, call or message from friends and family. However, there is an easy way to let certain family and friends contact you even with the "Do Not Disturb" on by changing the settings on your iPhone.
Allowing only select contacts, namely your nearest and dearest, to be able to contact you when you have your phone on "Do Not Disturb" will give you the peace of mind to know that should a friend or family member find themselves in an emergency situation, they will be able to contact you immediately.
