How do you turn do not disturb off

Studying the night before an exam? A distraction is the last thing you need. Don’t let anything pull your focus with Do not disturb. It mutes all alerts on your phone when you really need some peace and quiet. You can also set Do not disturb to turn on or off automatically at scheduled times. Of course, you can always set certain alerts as exceptions so you don’t miss an important call.

Note: Available screens and settings may vary by wireless service provider, software version, and phone model.

When you need a break, unplug in a few simple steps. Enjoy the peace and quiet.

You can also go to Settings, then search for and select Do not disturb. Tap the switch next to Do not disturb to turn it on or off.

If you are expecting an important call, or always want your favorite contacts to reach you, check the set up exceptions section. Exceptions can still get your attention with notifications, vibrations, or sound.
