Flip4 Do not disturb

Do not disturb is a built-in feature that mutes sounds and all incoming notifications, phone calls, and alerts, preventing any unwanted smartphone destructions.

This feature is available in both modern iOS and Android smartphones including the recently released Galaxy Z Flip4 device.

When enabled, you won’t hear any sound or vibration on your phone, the lock screen remains dark and incoming calls are directly routed to your voicemail.

Activating this feature is recommended for those who do not want to be disturbed when sleeping as well as those who opted not to get notifications and other sort of alerts from their smartphones while at work.

In Android 12 devices, the Do not disturb feature is tagged among other in-built functions under the notifications menu. If you’re new to Android phones and wondering how to access and manage this feature on your new Flip4 device, you can refer to the simplified walkthrough as follows.

Steps to Enable Do Not Disturb Mode on Galaxy Z Flip4

Performing these steps will mute all sounds on your phone without having to put your device in complete silent mode. These steps won’t affect alarms and other critical alerts, including those that are coming from exempted apps.

Setting Exceptions for Do not disturb

Consider setting up exceptions if you want to use Do not disturb mode to focus on your work but don’t want to miss an important call. All you have to do is allow exceptions and customize which type of alerts your device gets.

To set exceptions for calls, messages, conversations, alarms, sounds and apps, navigate to the Exceptions section then continue with the following.

Tap Calls, messages, and conversations then set to allow Do not disturb exceptions for calls, repeat callers, messages and conversations. You may opt to allow calls and/or repeat calls from contacts only, or favorite contacts only. Do the same to set exceptions for messages and conversations.

To manage which type of sounds to mute while on DND mode, tap Alarms and turn off the sounds that you want to be muted.

You can also set exceptions for certain apps. To do this, simply tap Apps, then tap Add apps on the following screen.

Hiding Notifications while on Do not Disturb

Notifications can also be stopped from showing up as icon badges in the notification panel, in the status bar and in pop-ups while on Do not disturb mode. All you have to do is manage the option to Hide notifications when the screen is on.

To limit notifications while on Do not disturb, tap Hide notifications then apply your preferred settings on which notifications to hide.

Critical notifications associated with phone status or activity will not be hidden even when you enable the option to Hide notifications on the phone.

If you activate Do not disturb on schedule, the phone automatically switches to Do not disturb during the set day and start time then ends on the designated end time. If you turn on Do not disturb without following a schedule, then you will need to manually disable the feature to un-mute incoming notifications and switch the phone back to ring/sound mode.
