When we select this option, it will take us into the "Interruptions" area

15
We've taken the long way to do this, so next we'll see how we can stop all interruptions and notifications the easy way

For now, we can see at the top it says, "When calls and notifications arrive", and it currently says "Always interrupt".

Pressing down on this will bring up more options, including "Don't interrupt", which will turn off everything

The menu for "Don't interrupt" will display, where we can select a period of time period for this option to be active

We're going to select "Indefinitely", but to choose a different time frame, we can just press down on one of the other options

22
First, press the Volume button on the right-hand side of the phone
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
23
We're given three options, but the display box will disappear very quickly
.
Therefore, we will need to press the Volume button again. When we get the display back on our screen, we'll see the word "NONE" highlighted in green. This means that nothing is allowed to enter or disturb us.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
24
When we can press down on the word "NONE", we will see the words "No interruptions
.
Not even alarms", displayed in red. This is the same option we just previously set up, which is turning everything off so nothing or disturb or interrupt us, as it says "Don't interrupt" at the top of the screen.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
25
This is the same option
.
There are just two different ways of finding it. We can either find it through the Settings menu, or we can press down on the Volume button located on the right-hand side of the phone.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
