There are times when you don't want to be disturbed, especially during a meeting or napping. Whether it's a professional or family meeting, or you just don't want to be disturbed during your moment of relaxation, it seems you can only mute your device.

Whether you receive calls, messages or notifications from other applications, if you have activated the DND mode, then you will not be alerted. Thus, you will not be disturbed or bothered during your work, important moments or rest.

You can not only block notifications or call alerts but also you can put exceptions on certain contacts or other important notifications. In this case, even if your device is in DND mode, you still receive notifications from apps or calls that are part of the exception list.
