Q: Weekday setting for Do Not Disturb mode

Can "Do Not Disturb" mode be set only for Mon-Fri? DND is really handy for teachers who can't have their phone going off while in class, but currently DND must be disabled weekends or calls / notifications are missed.

iPhone 6s, iOS 9.3.5

At this time, there is currently no provision for setting particular profiles for Do Not Disturb. Once you set it for scheduled, it will continue on that schedule until you turn it off.

    Thanks Chris. Did not think so, but it seems like an obvious improvement to DND mode

    There have been a number of suggestions in the past to create profiles similar to what are found on other manufacturer's devices. Feedback is the only way to get Apple to know what users want, however that does not always translate into what Apple will do. I only use DND at night, and when in the classroom, I have my mute switch on for the phone, and the silent mode on for my Apple Watch. Seems to work just fine. I turn the silent and mute modes off at the end of the day when I check the phone for notifications.
