DO NOT DISTURB

DND is still turning on whenever it wants

I have updated to most current version 16.4.1

I have tried scheduling for late night but still randomly turns on

I tried to delete but can't

Why did we need this function????? If I didn't want to be disturbed, I could just silence my phone.

I want this off my phone!!!!

Clearly from the comments going back a year, this is an ongoing problem that Apple has still been unable to resolve and it is frustrating!!!!!
