Comments

Hi, you are watching VisiHow. My name is Kara and in this is video, I will show you how to set up a do not disturb mode on iPhone 6.

1. 1
   Before we activate that mode, let's see what it actually is

   .

   We have to go to the Settings - a gray gears icon.

   

   Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
2. 2
   Here is the main menu for Settings in the very first

   .

   

   Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
3. 3
   First

   .

   

   Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
4. 4
   Second

   .

   

   Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
5. 5
   In the second section on the bottom, the third one is the Do Not Disturb

   .

   Let's tap on that option.

   

   Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
6. 6
   So here is the page

   .

   I can set up a manual to not disturb so I can choose what do I want and what do I not want.

   

   Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
7. 7
   Let's do it Manual

   .

   

   Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
8. 8
   I can setup Scheduled On

   .

   

   Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
9. 9
   In this case, it's asking me what time I want to be on "not disturb mode"

   .

   I'll choose from 10 to 7 as it is setup by default.

   

   Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
10. 10
    You are allowed to change it

    .

    For example, I set Do Not Disturb from 8 in the evening to 10 in the morning.

    

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
11. 11
    So in that time period, from 8 in the evening until 10 in the morning, nobody will able to access me simply because I will not be hearing ringtones, or vibrations, or phone calls, or SMS on any notifications

    .

    I will be leaving my peaceful life sleeping without being disturb by a phone.

    

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
12. 12
    There are always exceptions to the rules

    .

    So here is the exception and Allow Calls From.

    

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
13. 13
    I can allow phone calls from Favorites, I can allow phone calls from no one or anybody can call me while the do not disturb mode is on but I think it defeats that purpose of the mode itself

    .

    So let's just tap the Favorites - only Favorite. My contacts can access me when I sleep or when I am away.

    

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
14. 14
    You could have watched me adding contacts to the Favorite list on one of my previous videos on VisiHow

    .

    You are welcome to search for it.

    

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
15. 15
    Next thing - Repeated Calls

    .

    When this mode is activated, the second call from the same person within 3 minutes will be silence. This means that if a person keeps calling me, I just will not hear it. Anyone repeats call so let's turn it off.

    

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
16. 16
    Silence

    .

    You can choose "Always" or "only when the iPhone is locked". I prefer Always. While I play candy crush and while I am putting the kids to sleep, I do not want any sounds to wake them out.

    

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
17. 17
    So do not disturb button is on

    .

    Let's say I decided not to schedule it. I will do it Manually.

    

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
18. 18
    When you tap Manual that means that I will be able to activate or deactivate the mode by using my fingers every time

    .

    

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
19. 19
    So now, when we set up the mode itself; when we tune up the Do Not Disturb Mode, I will show you how to access it and how to activate it in a very fast way

    .

    You just need to have the pop-up menu by sliding from bottom to the top.

    

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
20. 20
    On the top menu bar, you can see the fourth icon with a little crescent - semi-moon as my son calls it

    .

    Tap on the icon and Do Not Disturb is on.

    

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
21. 21
    As you can see here, on the little tiny bar sign bar right at the top of your screen, you can see a little crescent sign next to the battery, and your service provider, and WiFi and clock

    .

    Right on the top is a little white tiny crescent which represents that the Do Not Disturb mode is being activated.

    

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
22. 22
    How do you turn it off

    ?

    It's the same thing. Slide up and turn the crescent off.

    

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
23. 23
    As you can see, Do Not Disturb mode is off

    .

    

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
