Now it is set to "Always interrupt"

This is the long way to do this. We showed this because it's important, but it is the longer way to get to this menu. What we can do for a shorter way to change this option is to press down on a volume button.

We need to press the volume button on the right-hand side of the phone

It can be the up or down volume button.

The box will disappear very quickly, but we can see the word "ALL" highlighted in green because we have it set to always interrupt
.
If we want to change it, we can tap on "NONE" or "PRIORITY".
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
12
If it's set to "NONE" and we want to change it to allow all phone calls and notifications, we can tap on "ALL"
.

13
If we don't decide fast enough, the box will close and the phone will tell us what setting we're on
.
We need to press the volume button again.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
14
If "NONE" is selected, we will see it say "Don't interrupt" in the settings
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
15
If "ALL" is selected, it will highlight the word in green and change the settings to say "Always interrupt"
.
It is the same option, but one actually goes into the settings menu, but one is the short option, pressing the volume button.
