Do Not Disturb is a feature presented last night by Apple, allowing iDevice users to hide all iOS notifications. The function does not completely block notifications, but only hides the notification banners (including calls), the messages being displayed in the Notifications Center to be viewed later by users. However, the functionality of the option does not stop there because Apple has made a special menu for it in the Notifications section and there we can set certain hours during which it is active, and we will not receive any notification.
iOS 6 adds new calling features to your iPhone. Now when you decline an incoming call, you can instantly reply with a text message or set a callback reminder. And when things are just too hectic, turn on Do Not Disturb and you won't be bothered by anyone — except can't-miss contacts like your boss or your better half.
However, don't imagine that Apple is isolating you from the wider world because you have the option to receive notifications about calls from certain people in your contact list, and if you want you can set iOS to notify you when a person calls more than once times. Do Not Disturb is a very important function of iOS because it allows users to get rid of the worry of blocking notifications or disabling the Internet connection, everything being done automatically by iDevices.
Turn on Do Not Disturb to suppress all incoming calls and notifications. Enable it manually or schedule a recurring time, like after 10:00 pm on weeknights. Or allow calls from your favorites or specific contact groups.
