Having the same problem on both my phone and my wife's. DND worked properly on both phones on Jan 1 but DND did not turn off as scheduled (7am) on Jan 2. It does turn off if I do so manually. I've tried turning off DND in both places and rebooting and DND comes back on even though it is past the time to shut off. I hope all is right on Jan 6 as earlier post suggests, but in meantime Apple needs to patch. This is problematic issue.

Not that I understand why this might happen from a technical point of view, but the explanation fits with my experience. Do not disturb is set to come on on my iPhone 4S at midnight. Accordingly, I experienced the issue with it failing to switch off on January 1. On my fourth-generation iPad, however, do not disturb is set to come on at 11pm, so it operated perfectly normally on January 1.


On January 2, both devices failed to disable do not disturb when they ought to have. It's good to know that the issue will resolve with time, but a little irritating that it doesn't work perfectly. Having said that, I'm not back at work until January 7, so it's not going to affect me as I have been manually switching the devices to silent with this side switch so that I can lie in until I feel like getting up whilst I am on holiday!

Whoever does the coding for clock, alarms, DND wants their butt kicking or sacked. Apples history with alarms and clock issues is not great.


We are not talking about complex apps here. Humans have been telling time a long time.


As reported many times in the media, people are using their mobiles for scheduling, alarms, etc. So it's one function you would expect to trust.

Still broken today on both my iPad and iPhone. Based on the post near the top it looks like it will be "fixed" on Sunday, but Apple really needs to learn how to do "date" coding. This isn't the first time New Year's Day broken date related functionality and it won't likely be the last.


What I don't understand is that there is no reason for the Do Not Disturb functionality to even care about the date. It should simply turn on when the clock hits the set turn on time and turn off when the clock hits the turn off time.
