Do Not Disturb (on iPhone) works fine, except that it ignores Instagram

Do Not Disturb (on iPhone 12 mini, IOS 16.3.1) works fine, except that it ignores Instagram. New follower message pops up during configured DO Not Disturb times. There must be a way of avoiding this. Does anyone have a clue?

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 16

Hello matias_rg,


It seems like you want to silence notifications for apps when using a Focus, is that correct? If so, please check out the information in the following link, which outlines how to allow or silence notifications from specific apps during a Focus, which may help: Allow or silence notifications for a Focus on iPhone


Allow or silence notifications from specific apps during a Focus

1. Go to Settings  > Focus, then choose a Focus—for example, Do Not Disturb, Personal, Sleep, or Work.
2. Tap Apps (or tap Choose Apps), then do one of the following: 
* Allow specific apps: Tap Allow Notifications From, tap the Add Apps button, then select apps.
* Silence specific apps: Tap Silence Notifications From, tap the Add Apps button, then select apps.

You can also turn on Time Sensitive Notifications, which allows all apps to send time-sensitive notifications immediately.


Thanks!
