How to schedule Do Not Disturb on Android

Go to Settings > Notifications > Do Not Disturb, add a schedule for the hours you sleep, and allow calls from contacts or favourites so family can still get through.

How to do it

  1. Swipe down twice from the top of the screen and tap the Do Not Disturb tile if you want it on right now.

  2. For a schedule, open Settings > Notifications > Do Not Disturb.

  3. Add a schedule for the hours you sleep.

  4. Open Calls or People and allow contacts, or favorite contacts, so a family call still rings.

Alarms still sound. App notifications do not, unless you added that app to the exceptions. Check the exceptions list if a chat app goes silent and you did not want it to.

Questions people ask

Yes. Alarms ring during Do Not Disturb unless you change that.

Why has a chat app gone silent?

Do Not Disturb blocks app notifications unless you add that app as an exception.
