The need for a Do Not Disturb feature arose from tons of notifications, which keep popping up even while you’re sleeping.

Anyone who has received a late night text message disturbing their sleep, or accidentally received a dumb wrong number phone call in the middle of a meeting, the new Do Not Disturb feature is a lifesaver.
Here’s how to setup Do Not Disturb and manage is right.

Do Not Disturb schedule can be enabled from Settings > Notifications > Do Not Disturb. Here you can set up a specific schedule when Do Not Disturb runs, and set up who you allow incoming calls from. For example, in the screenshot above, I’ve set a Do Not Disturb on my iPhone to allow calls only from those in my Favorite list from 11pm to 6am.
By default, the Repeated Calls feature is ON. You may want to leave this ON just in case there is an emergency and the person calling you tries again within 3 minutes.
