Take a break from the pressures of life

Do you crave even a few minutes away from the hustle and bustle of daily life?

Phones and tablets enable us to be always online, and always connected to the wider world, but the boundaries between our digital, work and personal lives are becoming ever increasing­ly blurred. That means we get fewer opportunit­ies to simply ‘switch off’ from the distractio­ns that our devices bring, short of simply shutting them down.

Apple’s solution to this is Do Not Disturb – a feature which, when activated, silences all notificati­ons, alerts, incoming phone calls and messages for a set period of time or until you manually deactivate it. Do Not Disturb is a saving grace if you’re fed up of being woken in the middle of the night by your phone buzzing or lighting up like a disco ball.

Don’t worry though; you won’t miss a thing. Your iPhone collects all of the alerts together, while your phone stays dark and silent. Need some peace and quiet? Here’s how to get it.
