Have you ever fallen asleep only to be awakened in the middle of the night by a phone call from someone who had no idea how late it was (or who simply didn’t care)?

Or perhaps you’ve signed up for a class and you’d rather not disturb everyone in the room with an endless barrage of notification sounds?

If you have an iPhone you can easily avoid situations like that by either manually initiating or scheduling a “quiet time” that will mute all of your phone’s sounds during any time period that you designate.

This special mode is called “Do Not Disturb”, and it works like a champ! 

How to enable and disable “Do Not Disturb” manually

You can manually enable and disable “Do Not Disturb” mode at any time with just a few quick taps. Just follow the steps below:

1 – Tap Settings.

2 – Tap Do Not Disturb.

3 – Toggle the Do Not Disturb setting to On by tapping the “slider switch”.

To disable “Do Not Disturb”, simply toggle the setting back to Off.

How to schedule a pre-set quiet time with “Do Not Disturb”

1 – Tap Settings.

2 – Tap Do Not Disturb.

3 – Tap the “Slider switch” beside Scheduled to display the default “From’ and “To” times, then tap each of those times to change them to match the start and end times of your desired quiet time.

When the “From” time arrives your iPhone will automatically go into “Do Not Disturb” mode.

When the “To” time arrives your phone will revert back to normal mode.

That’s all there is to it. Now you know how to enable and disable your iPhone’s “Do Not Disturb” feature, both manually and automatically on a set schedule.
