Do not Disturb on my phone has the option to turn off everything except alarms and/or calls from a variety of sources. It can be set to be active at certain times of the day.
True, but if you are not from America, many many people use VOIP calling on apps like WhatsApp to call.
DnD priority overrides don't work for that.
That's not right. As long as they are excluded from DnD with their phone number, Android will let them through. It even says so in the settings (feddit.de still has image upload issues but the info states that "Even if messaging and calling apps can't reach you, people that you choose here can still reach you through those apps")
Maybe that is a new android thing or a Samsung thing? That phrase doesn't show up in my settings.
2 years ago, my mother and I tested it extensively when I moved trying all of the "allowing app" settings combined with starred people and it never worked for whatsapp, only stock dialer and texts.
I'm running Stock Android 13 Fairphone 5. So if it's not available for you it's most likely taken away by your vendor. I remember my Sony XZ2 with Android 10 already having that feature 🤔
As best I can tell, on Android, while there is scheduling, there isn't a way to trivially say "enter do-not-disturb mode for the next N minutes/hours on a one-off basis", which is normally what I want. I don't want to set up a schedule; I just want to silence the thing without having to worry about forgetting to re-enable the mode. It seems like an odd omission.
Works for me
Also lets me pick apps that bypass it:
I can confirm both Pixels and Samsung phones have that feature (1/2/4 hours or indefinite). On my current phone (Samsung) you get the option by holding the DND button.
Hmm. Thanks. Mine (Android 14, OnePlus) doesn't appear to provide that, though holding DnD does take me to the schedule settings.
I have the option for a schedule,a fixed time, or ask everytime.
Edit: Also, I'm on Android 13.
I can do this on android 10.
Works on LineageOS 21.
