Video stopped playing and didn't save after imessage alert

While recording video on my iPad, I received an iMessage alert. The video stopped playing and didn't save what was already recorded.


Is this normal behavior or is there a setting I can change to block all alerts while recording?


Thanks in advance.

iPad Air, Windows 7

Hi sabfa,

If you don't want to be interrupted when you are recording video on your iPad, try enabling the Do Not Disturb feature.

Use Do Not Disturb on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Turn Do Not Disturb on or off

When Do Not Disturb is on, a crescent moon User uploaded file, or half-moon, icon will appear in the status bar. There are two ways to turn Do Not Disturb on or off:

  • Tap Settings > Do Not Disturb. Choose Manual to turn on Do Not Disturb now or set a schedule.
  • Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to open Control Center. Tap the crescent moon.

User uploaded file

Change your settings

You can also choose when you want to be disturbed:

  • Allow Calls From: Allow calls from everyone, no one, your favorites, or specific contact groups stored on your device or your iCloud account.
  • Repeated Calls: If someone calls you twice within three minutes, the call won't be silenced.
  • Silence: Choose to silence calls and notifications always or only when the device is locked.


Take care,
