I cannot get the Do Not Disturb turned off on my phone

My iPhone is on Do Not Disturb and I cannot get it turned off. My phone calls are not coming through and this is getting urgent.


iPhone 6, iOS 9

Hello mnabers,



Thanks for choosing the Apple Support Communities. What happens when you try to turn off Do Not Disturb?


There are a few ways this can be done.

  1. Swipe down to Control Center > Tap Focus > Turn off Do Not Disturb.
  2. Go to Settings > Focus > Do Not Disturb .


Also, these steps may be helpful as well.


Use Focus on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


"Turn on Focus

  1. Go to Settings > Focus. 
  2. Tap a provided Focus option—like Do Not Disturb, Personal, Sleep, or Work—then tap Customize Focus.
  3. Set up your Focus. You can select allowed or silenced notifications from people and apps, connect your Lock Screen or Home Screen, have this Focus turn on automatically, and add Focus filters.

You can also enable Time Sensitive notifications from apps, which allows apps not in your allowed list to send notifications marked as Time Sensitive.

You can also turn on Focus from Control Center. Just open Control Center on your iPhone, or on your iPad, touch and hold Focus, then select the Focus you want to turn on.

When you set a Focus, the icon appears in the status bar and on your Lock Screen, and your status is automatically displayed in the Messages app. When people try to send you a message, they'll see that you've silenced notifications, but they can still notify you if it's urgent.

When you use Focus on one device, the setting is automatically applied across your Apple devices that are signed in with the same Apple ID."


We hope this helps.


Cheers!
