Realme: Turn Do Not Disturb On or Off

Do Not Disturb on Realme phones silences calls, messages, and app alerts without blocking them. Everything still arrives, it just stays quiet and hidden from the lock screen until you open your notification shade.

The mode lives in the sound settings, separate from silent or vibrate profiles, because it also controls which notifications appear visually, not only whether they make noise. That distinction matters if you rely on the screen lighting up for urgent calls.

To turn it on or off, go to Tap on Settings ➔ Tap on Sound & vibration ➔ Enable or disable Do Not Disturb. The toggle switches the mode directly, and you can add exceptions for specific contacts or apps from the same screen.

If only certain apps should stay silent, blocking notifications for that single app is usually a better fix than switching Do Not Disturb off completely.

Side effect: with Do Not Disturb active, alarms may still sound depending on your exception settings, so check that separately if you rely on the alarm clock overnight.
