Has anyone else had to clear off the explanatory notification about Do Not Disturb notifications from the lock screen several times an hour after upgrading to ios 12?
Any thoughts on how to keep it from coming back?
iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 12
Thanks so much for the clarification. It would be nice if Apple included Do Not Disturb in the Notifications section, allowing users like me who know the Do Not Disturb is always on to keep the window from popping up all the time. Unless there is another way (one that I'm unaware of) to filter out all incoming communications except for a select few you'd like to get through to you.
Thanks again.

Sorry Idris, but what you’re actually missing is that, whilst some people might accidentally turn on DND, there are plenty of us who don’t and deliberately have it on. And I would wager that the majority of the people on this thread complaining about this annoying new ’feature’ know whether or not DND is on or not. So explaining the ‘why’ isn’t actually helpful. All we‘re really looking for is information on whether this situation is customisable. The least Apple could’ve done is given us the option to switch the notification off permanently. And yes, I know how to leave product feedback.
That was actually the whole point being made. The answer ‘no, you can’t switch the notication off permanently’ was all we needed. I wasn’t ranting against the feature and have left feedback already thanks.
What I was here, on this technical support forum, addressing was the constant, superfluous ‘answers’ that always appear on threads like this with an unnecessarily supercilious tone. Like telling people who deliberately turn on a feature that the answer to an unnecessary reminder is to switch off the feature. Classic.
I guess it’s the most ******** change in iOS 12 that’s against what Apple products are supposed to be about.
(I call it “Don’t look like a Christmas tree. ”)
I wonder why they haven’t renamed it to “Do disturb mode”. Maybe in the next patch.
In addition to disturbing me on four devices, it’s sitting on the middle of my wallpaper so I can’t see my partner’s huge boobs on it.
I spent much time on moving her face from below the clock to somewhere when I can see it. And now this.
I'm having the same issue on my iPhone 6s. I tried turning the phone on and off. I tried toggling I tried hitting "clear" after swiping the message. All to no avail. The same message keeps popping up: "Do Not Disturb. Calls and notifications will be silenced until Do Not Disturb is turned off."
I never received this message with previous iterations of the iPhone software.
It will keep appearing until you turn DND off. That notification did not exist before iOS 12. In iOS 11 and earlier, the fact that DND was enabled was indicated by a small crescent icon in the status bar. It has been replaced by the more noticeable and more informative notification.
Thanks for the reply- I have tried turning the phone off and on, as well as toggling DND off and on, but am still getting seeing a notification that looks roughly like this:
"DO NOT DISTURB
Calls and notifications will be silenced until Do Not Disturb is turned off."
Clearing the notification makes it go away but only temporarily. Also, the little crescent moon is on the notification as well as on display up by the battery meter, as it was on iOS 11.
Thanks again for the help. I realize this is a minor issue, but on my phone, DND is always on and the notification banner runs right over a very adorable picture of my very adorable son on the lock screen.
That means you have Do Not Disturb turned on...
If you want to get rid of the notification and the crescent moon in the status bar, turn off Do Not Disturb.
The notification is there so that you know it's turned on and you won't get calls text messages and other notifications...
Thanks again to all for your insights. Idris, I did submit a feedback form under the "Bug" heading, since I can't believe it's intentional that should forever be reminded why I chose to put my phone in DND mode in the first place.
Ended up having to disable DND mode because I need to see the notifications that are important. Thanks Apple for changing something without providing the simple option of togglling the stupid message.

I have DND enabled during my work day. I have no trouble seeing other notifications. They are completely visible below. You can also remove the DND banner temporarily.
this is missing the point completely. clearly DND is on and clearly the user intends to keep it on. All you've done is make a blanket statement about the fact DND can be turned on or off.

What you're missing and what those of us who've been around long enough to have reached level 10 is that lots of people enable DND accidentally. Then they miss important calls or messages. Then they get really upset. Then, they come to these forums and rant.

And what you're missing is that this is a technical support forum. We can't change the way it works. The question of whether it's customizable has already been answered.
In case it wasn't clear, the answer is no.
If that makes you unhappy, then send feedback to Apple. Ranting about it here isn't going to change anything.
