    • Tap the moon icon to enable Do Not Disturb.
  2. Schedule Do Not Disturb:
    • Go to Settings > Do Not Disturb.
    • Turn on “Scheduled.”
    • Set a start and end time for when Do Not Disturb will be automatically enabled.
  3. Customize Do Not Disturb:
    • Go to Settings > Do Not Disturb.
    • Turn on “Allow Calls From” to select the contacts or groups of contacts that can reach you even when Do Not Disturb is enabled.
    • Turn on “Repeated Calls” to allow a second call from the same person to come through if it’s within three minutes of the first call.
    • Turn on “Bedtime” to dim the lock screen and hide all notifications from the lock screen while your device is charging.

By customizing Do Not Disturb on your iPhone, you can control when and how you receive notifications and calls, so that you can focus on what’s important to you.
