Work, study or relax undisturbed with your iPhone

We live in a world where we are constantly bombarded with notifications and calls on our smartphones. This can lead to distraction and stress, especially when we want to focus on important tasks such as work, study or relaxation. Fortunately, there is a simple and user-friendly solution to this problem: the 'Do Not Disturb' function on your iPhone . This function temporarily blocks notifications and calls, allowing you to fully concentrate on your work, study or relaxation.

Making the most of your Do Not Disturb feature

At leapp, we are here to help you get the most out of your Apple products. In this article, we offer you tips and tricks to get the most out of the Do Not Disturb feature on your iPhone.
  • Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
  • Scroll down and tap “Do Not Disturb”.
  • Turn on the “Do Not Disturb” feature by sliding the switch next to “Do Not Disturb.”
  • You will now see a moon icon in the status bar of your iPhone, indicating that the “do not disturb” feature is turned on.

Set exceptions for important contacts

You can set exceptions for important contacts, so you can still receive calls and messages from them even when Do Not Disturb is turned on. Go to Settings > Do Not Disturb > Allow Calls From, then choose Favorites or All Contacts. This way, you can make sure you don't miss any important calls or messages.

Automatically turn on the Do Not Disturb feature at certain times

You can also have Do Not Disturb turn on automatically at specific times, such as during your workday or at night. Go to Settings > Do Not Disturb > Scheduled and set the desired start and end times. This way, you don't have to manually turn the function on and off every time.

Other Apple products that can help reduce distractions

In addition to the “do not disturb” function on your iPhone, there are other Apple products that can help you concentrate better and be less distracted:
  • Apple Watch: With a refurbished Apple Watch, you can receive notifications and calls right on your wrist, so you don't have to reach for your phone all the time. You can also turn on the "do not disturb" feature on your Apple Watch to only let through important notifications.
  • Mac: Just like on your iPhone, you can also enable the "do not disturb" function on your refurbished MacBook to temporarily disable notifications. Go to Notification Center, click the gear icon and enable "Do not disturb".
  • iPad: You can also enable the "do not disturb" function on your refurbished iPad to work or study undisturbed. Follow the same steps as when enabling the "do not disturb" function on your iPhone.
  • iMac: On your refurbished iMac, you can also enable the "do not disturb" function to focus on your work without being distracted by notifications.
