Pro Tips

  1. iPhone won't ring in the car? This could be because Do Not Disturb While Driving is turned on!
  2. Another way to check if Do Not Disturb is on is to look in the upper right hand corner of your screen. If you see the Do Not Disturb icon next to the battery, then Do Not Disturb is on.
  3. In the Settings app, you'll know Do Not Disturb is on when the switch is green.
  4. In Control Center, you'll know Do Not Disturb is on when the moon icon is white inside a purple circle.

I have two options: do not disturb ALWAYS. And do not disturb when phone is LOCKED.
I want that OFF. I’ve already turned it off the other way and still it says “Sleep Well, Do Not Disturb”. No alarm. I can’t find a way to get rid of that!
