WhatsApp ignores Do not disturb

It has nothing to do with Apple's software. Do not disturb only affects Apple's core iOS features - the telephone app, the messaging app and iOS notifications service. It does not interact with or affect third party apps - Use Do Not Disturb on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

If you want WhatsApp to implement something similar, then you need to suggest it to the WhatsApp developers. Or, close WhatsApp at night, and disable it in background app refresh in settings. But if you leave it open and running in the background, it's going to keep on working as designed.

Doesn’t work, even with the right settings, whatsapp calls still make the phone vibarate while all other things get muted and do not vibarate, it is realy anoying, especialy when you want to sleep and the only persons that you want to disturb you are your favorites.

It's surely late, but there's a solution to your problem. You need to go to settings -> Do not Disturb, and there you'll see that you can customize what the "do not disturb" mode will do, for instance, you would need to set that you do not need want to receive notifications at all even when the phone is unlocked, etc. Hope this helps 🙂

Yes it is a stupid bug. The only workarround for now is to set mobile data for whatsapp to off and to switch off WiFi when I don’t want to be disturbed with whatsapp calls and only want to receive calls from my favorites while do not disturb is on.

As of Dec 2017 and iOS 11.2.1, the bug 🐜 is still there!

Very annoying; very much so!!

I would not want to turn WhatsApp off, neither Celular Data, nor Wi-Fi. Also, I do want WhatsApp messages to come in still while Do Not Disturb is on!! I just do not want to be disturbed (ie. No sounds, no banners) when WhatsApp messages are received! I use Do Not Disturb quite frequently, on and off, several times during the day and night—everyday—. I would not want to keep also turning WhatsApp off every time I turn Do Not Disturb on. I need WhatsApp on all the time. I just can not be distracted with its visual/audio notifications at given times. C’mon, Apple! Time to fix this bug 🐜!

You re missing the point on “Do No Disturb”!

I do not wish to turn off Notifications on WhatsApp.

I do need to be notified when messages are sent.

I just do not want to be disturbed, when Do Not Disturb is on.

Can you see the difference?

Also, I turn Do Not Disturb on several times during any given day. If I have to go to Settings/Notifications to turn off each non-Apple App Notifications every time I turn Do Not Disturb on, the whole need of having Do Not Disturb is pointless..

Is the same issue when whatsapp still vibrate even the phone is Mute.😮 More annoying it vibrates the phone during the call. Its such a pleasure to be on a call and still hearing the alert on your ear and vibrate also on your ear. And more funny, the notifications are also heard by the other person 😐

How stupid you could be to allow such a thing? And knowing about that issue for years and dont give a spit about it?

Wake up apple!

It has nothing to do with Apple's software. Do not disturb only affects Apple's core iOS features - the telephone app, the messaging app and iOS notifications service.

This is incorrect. WhatsApp not respecting Do Not Disturb is in fact unexpected behavior. Let's hope they manage to fix it soon - on Mac as well as iOS.

Nonesense, this a horrific bug. Do not disturb should mute all apps otherwise it’s basically a worthless feature. And as of sept 2017 and iOS 11.0.1 this bug isnot fixed.

No it's a bug and lots of people have it.

It is easy To turn off What’s app sounds and notIfications just go to settings- Notifications-What’s app

and then turn off all notifications button or other options are below.

I know what i want. When i use the Do not diturb option i only want to hear the calls and notifications from all the persons in favorite. Waiting for it 🙂.
