How do I turn Do Not Disturb mode off on my iPhone?

For over 1 day now Do Not Disturb has been on and I have not been getting any notifications. I look at my Focus schedules and I had two set up for night time. But Do not disturb was turned on and the moon displayed during the day. I went in and disabled all my schedules and I still CANNOT turn off do not disturb! It is still showing the moon. Why is there no toggle to turn on and off ! How do I get do not disturb setting off so I can receive notifications, I looked at Apples pages and they are worthless.

The toggle is now in the Control Center. Tap on the button with the crescent moon, not the word Focus:

I’m sorry but this response is completely useless since it just points users to the most basic how-to manual answer. The problem is there is NO OPTION TO TURN THIS FEATURE OFF APPEARING: no toggle switch, no toggling button, etc. I’ve reset all settings and still cannot solve this problem. Why is no one answering this or at least acknowledging it as a known bug?

Thank you Lawrence Finch but there is no button circled in green, Just black boxes labeled Do not disturb, personal, and work. I wish your image was visible. I don’t want to use this feature, ever. I don’t want to have to hunt through the settings every time it randomly sets itself and blocks notifications. I do not want to fiddle with turning individual times off, I want the whole thing permanently silenced and gone. Any hope?

Same thing happened to me and I toggled

volume from hi to low again. It worked.


calls stopped routing to vc mail. My

volume was never turned down and my

do not disturb was never turned on.


so, I’m not sure what’s going on

within the app itself. I have the same

problem with my phone freezing up

and can’t enter password or place calls


i disabled the Siri App and now my phone

never freezes up.

Coolside - Can you please provide a screen shot of what you see when you try to follow our instructions? And let us know which iPhone you have. The options may be different on earlier versions of the phone. In my experience, once I turn off all the Focuses, they do not turn back on unless I turn them on. We are trying to figure out why our instructions do nor seem to work on your iPhone.

Well I'm relatively technically astute, have done a fair amount of trying different settings, attempting to turn it off, force closing my phone, reading and trying various online suggestions and nothing seemed to work. I think others in this thread have run into the same bug.


I'm glad you didn't have this issue on your phone but I and others have. So I resorted to this work around.

Today I was prompted to turn on “do not disturb” for a 1 hour meeting. I didn’t it but somehow I did it. Now I can’t get it off. I’ve tried following all searched directions and it won’t shut off. Why isn’t there an option to shut off in the calendar where the meeting is logged. Why is it so **** difficult?
