How To Disable App Notifications On Your Android Phone – SlashGear

Suppose you’re in an important meeting and don’t want your phone to alert you of any notifications — visually, audibly, or both. An effective way to disable all of your app notifications at once is by using the Do Not Disturb (DND) mode on your Android phone. Once this mode is activated, your notifications won’t make a sound or vibration, and won’t appear on your lock screen or notification panel.

Do Not Disturb can also be customized according to your needs. For instance, specific calls, messages, or apps can still push through while DND is on. You can also set DND to automatically turn on and off at pre-defined schedules. Here’s how to enable the DND mode:

1. Swipe down from the top of your device’s home screen.
2. Tap and hold the Do Not Disturb button to open the DND settings.
3. Set what options to allow while DND mode is on. 
   1. People: You can select which conversations, calls, and messages can bypass DND mode. 
   2. Apps: Add which apps can interrupt you when DND mode is enabled. 
   3. Alarms & other interruptions: By default, Alarms, Reminders, and Calendar events can still send you notifications. If you wish to turn them off, simply toggle the switch next to each one. 
4. Finally, tap on Turn On Now at the top to enable DND.
