Do Not Disturb keeps turning off after a few seconds

I had the same issue. Then I realized it shows the option to allow the focus status to be on all of your devices. If you have your AppleID logged into three phones (like I do with two kids) it will automatically update the status to what the others are on. So I turned off the option to share across all devices.

I have “share across all devices” off and have had it off. This issue still happens.

Hello elianlj,

Welcome to Apple Support Communities!

If we understand your post correctly, after turning Do Not Disturb on it shuts itself off after a couple of seconds. We'd like to help!

If you turn on Do Not Disturb mode and forget to turn it off, the Do Not Disturb in the Control Center, it will turn off in a certain time.

If you want to turn on Do Not Disturb mode all the time, simply go to Settings > Do Not Disturb to turn on Do Not Disturb manually.

More information about Do Not Disturb mode can be found here: Use Do Not Disturb on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

Let us know if you have any questions.

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Take care!

I have a sleep schedule on every weekday and have all notifications turned off except 2 phone numbers for my daughters. Since the most recent update I keep getting random alerts at odd times during the night from my email. Why is this happening when I have a sleep schedule on. I have tried turning my sleep schedule off and just putting do not disturb on but it turn off after a few seconds. It’s driving me crazy as I can’t have my phone be quiet while I’m sleeping.

I’m having the same problem. It is driving me absolutely crazy. Even if I go into the main menu and toggle it back over to DND, it shuts it self off a few seconds later. I’ve had random notifications in the middle of the night and it drives me crazy. It doesn’t seem like anyone knows how to fix this either.

I tried this, but it will not stop turning itself off. I have no schedule. What do I do?

Try the advice right above your post. Switch it to off where it says “share across devices”
