DoNotDisturb
Mobile phone mode for being able to not be bothered by certain types of notifications/alerts/noises.
The tricky part is
- defining what you do want to hear
- having easy process to toggle this setting
iOS (for my family) - hear phone ring, but nothing else (their text messaging includes lots of group-chats - there's probably some fine-grained support of letting you get alerts from some people, but I'm keeping it simple for them)
- to toggle: "just pull down the menu with airplane mode and stuff and tap the moon, that turns on DND"
- you can schedule dates/times to have it turn on/off automatically
- Settings -> Do not disturb -> allow calls from -> everyone
Android (for me) - hear phone and text messaging (SMS, Kakao; but not Slack, Discord...)
- toggle with the little
-
inside circle icon in top pulldown (between flashlight and hotspot) - also have 2 schedules to auto on/off - weeknights and weekends
- settings -> Sound -> Do Not Disturb
- Calls - allow from anyone
- SMS, MMS, and messaging apps: from contacts only
