How To Enable The Do Not Disturb Feature(DnD)

Description

Do Not Disturb is a helpful setting on phones, tablets, and computers that creates quiet time by stopping your device from ringing, buzzing, or lighting up for calls, texts, and notifications. Everything still arrives; you just won’t be interrupted until you’re ready. Many older adults find it useful during sleep, naps, doctor visits, church, meals, or any moment when they want peace and calm. It prevents sudden noises that might startle you, and all your messages will be waiting whenever you choose to check your device.
