OnePlus How to Set up "Do Not Disturb"

The Do Not Disturb mode on the OnePlus smartphone is an alternative to turning off the device.
This mutes all sounds of incoming messages, system notifications or alerts, as well as rejecting calls with a busy signal.

If Do Not Disturb , also known as DND is enabled, we will continue to receive all SMS messages and incoming call notifications.

In addition, various exceptions can be set, which for example allow selected contacts (favourites) to call or send messages.

The Do Not Disturb mode can be activated at any time, either manually or by a created schedule.

Note: To bypass navigation to the Sound & Vibration settings, "Do Not Disturb" can also be turned on/off at any time via the Status Bar's Quick Settings.

In addition to the exception that calls from selected contacts or contact groups (favourites) on the OnePlus smartphone can be allowed in Do Not Disturb mode, another option can be checked or enabled that allows repeated calls from the same phone number within 15 minutes, if the call is urgent or even emergency.

Note: This bypasses the function and puts the call through with a ring tone and vibration.

We can set an automated schedule for Do not disturb to automatically use the feature on the OnePlus smartphone.
Here we can choose to automatically enable and disable the mode at a specific time.

We can also set the schedule´s own name, set the days and start and end times, choose whether a wake-up call or alarm clock can override the end time.

Note: The created schedules remain stored on the smartphone and can be (de)activated at any time when needed.
Also, the already existing schedules can be edited at any time, which is possible by tapping on the respective settings icon.

If the Do Not Disturb mode is enabled on the OnePlus smartphone, the received notifications can be restricted completely or partially.
Here we can choose whether to receive notifications without an audible signal or without a visual and audible signal.
With the latter setting, neither a signal will sound nor will the device's display be turned on.

In addition, the OnePlus device offers us an advanced setting option, which includes the following options that can be configured individually:

• Do not turn on the display
• No pop-up notifications
• Hide from notification bar
• Hide icons in the status bar at the top of the screen
• Hide App Notification Points on App Icons

If we want to add an app and its notifications or notification categories in addition to the numerous settings for exceptions in Do not disturb mode, we simply navigate to the notification settings of the desired application.

If "Override Do Not Disturb" is enabled on the app settings, all notifications will be received or allowed on the OnePlus smartphone.

In addition to the exceptions for calls and messages in Please do not disturb mode on the OnePlus smartphone, we can make additional settings for the following options or functions to further customize the mode to your personal needs:

• Allow alarms
• Playing media sounds
• Allow touch sounds
• Allow reminders
• Allow events

If we enable the Do Not Disturb mode on the OnePlus smartphone, we can add further exceptions to calls from contacts or contact favourites.

If we only want to disable all SMS or Messenger message notifications, such as WhatsApp messages, you can also set the allowed calls From anyone exception.

Similar to the call exceptions, we can specify whether SMS/MMS messages or messages via messaging apps, such as WhatsApp, should be allowed in Do Not Disturb mode.

We can also choose to allow all contacts or contact favourites.

The messages from allowed contacts will then be put through with sound and vibration.
