Understand Do Not Disturb

Take a well earned break from the pressures of work and life

Do you crave time away from the hustle and bustle of daily life? Phones and tablets enable us to be always online, but the boundaries between our digital, work, and personal lives are increasingly blurred, meaning we get fewer opportunities to switch off from the distractions that our devices bring, short of turning them off.

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 deactivate it.

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.
