How to Turn ON or Off Do Not Disturb for Phone Calls & Messages on Android Phone (Best Method)
2The "best method" for turning Do Not Disturb (DND) on or off, and ensuring it only silences the right things (calls and messages), is using the Quick Settings panel and then configuring the detailed settings.
Here is the comprehensive guide:
1. The Best Method to Turn DND On and Off
The fastest and most common way to toggle Do Not Disturb is through the Quick Settings panel.
To Turn ON DND:
Swipe Down: Swipe down once or twice from the very top of your screen to open the Quick Settings panel.
Tap the Icon: Look for the Do Not Disturb icon (it usually looks like a circle with a dash, a minus sign, or a crescent moon).
Tap it to instantly switch the mode on.
(On some newer Android versions, tapping the icon may prompt you to select a duration, like "For 1 hour" or "Until you turn it off.")
To Turn OFF DND:
Swipe Down: Swipe down from the top of your screen to open the Quick Settings panel.
Tap the Icon: Tap the glowing or active Do Not Disturb icon again.
It will turn off instantly, and your notifications and calls will resume normal volume/vibration.
2. How to Configure DND for Calls and Messages
Once you know how to turn it on, you must customize the settings to ensure it correctly handles calls and messages according to your preference (e.g., total silence or allowing exceptions).
The exact path may vary slightly by phone brand (Pixel, Samsung, etc.), but the core settings are the same.
