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
As several people have noted, currently there isn’t a toggle to switch the “Do Not Disturb is On” notification on or off. It’s a new feature that Apple released with iOS 12 and if you’d like to have them address it you should copy the message below and add feedback at: https://www.apple.com/feedback/
“Please offer a toggle in the settings for Do Not Disturb to switch the “Do Not Disturb is Turned On” notification on and off. I, like many, have set DND on a specific schedule and am fully aware when it is on or off. I understand that some users may accidentally turn DND on and would prefer a notification, but the constant reminder and need to dismiss the pop-up notification detracts from the iPhone experience and aesthetic for those of us who are aware of when we’ve scheduled Do Not Disturb. Thank you!”
I would rather not see this DND warning constantly. It would be nice to be able to turn it off. I can understand warning the user once after he enables DND or even warning him each time he powers up. But having this warning on my screen as permanent clutter is not what I want.
Restarting my phone didn’t work. How do you actually fix this. I know my phone is in DND mode. I never turn it off. I cannot stand seeing that notification all the time, even after swiping it away minutes before. This needs a fix immediately.
Ha! You have more faith in Apple than me. I believe they’ve intentionally set this Do Not Disturb notification to not turn off to force people to use the fancy new and improved Do Not Disturb settings. It would be really nice if Apple fixed this issue. It’s so annoying.
What I would prefer is a more subtle indication that DND is on instead of a message stating that not only is DND on but the definition of what DND does...
Show the moon or an icon and a simple message stating that DND is on. That's it... KISS as the saying goes.
More useful to me would be a like notification option for the little ringer switch on the side of my iPhone which, even with a case, occasionally gets inadvertantly moved to the OFF position. My iPad is always in DND and I would like the ability to disable the notification.
What you're missing and seem to be missing deliberately is that some people know that it's on and want to have the option to disable the constant notification. Just because some less capable people need constant reminders does not mean that the rest of us should not have the option to toggle it off. Please don't repeat your same reply again. You seem to need the notification "do not keep saying what you have already said" pop up so you will get the message. 🙂
The notification is "DO NOT DISTURB
Calls and notifications will be silenced until Do Not Disturb is turned off."
It would great if Apple would allow us, some who paid 1,100 bucks for a phone, the option to disable this notification. It may be helpful to some but is extremely annoying to others.
That notification is SO ANNOYING. I already know how the "Do not disturb" mode works. I don't need a notification remembering me of that EVERY SINGLE DAY. Plus, I already have the icon at the top of the screen, so I already know it's on. iOS should have AT LEAST an option to deactivate that.
To the contrary. I find it incredibly useful. I know how Do not disturb mode works. I don't always remember the start and end time I have set, however. A few months ago I was waiting for an important phone call. The reminder would have helped to remind me to disable DND while I was waiting. Instead I missed the call, which led to the better part of the day catching up and apologizing. It doesn't bother me in the slightest to have a reminder at the top of my notification screen, even though I ignore it 99.9% of the time. The once in a blue moon that it is useful makes it worthwhile to it's taking up a couple of lines on the Notification screen. I ignore lots of notifications, but I still want the option of ignoring them.

Until Apple makes it possible to set different schedules for different days of the week, it's very important to me. I have DND enabled from 9a-5p weekdays as in my current workplace, having one's phone go off it not considered polite. But, I often forget to disable it on the weekends.
To me, if you find it useful, no problem. Apple just needs to add DND to Notifications so it can be turned on or off at the discretion of the user. It can’t be too hard to add that feature because Apple does it for many other apps. Apple has many features that don’t allow a choice by the user. Are the programmers just thoughtless or does Apple think their way should be the only way? Either way, Apple products aren’t cheap. For the high prices, they need to be more considerate of their customers.

The latter. Apple has a very long history of giving the customer what Apple believes they should have rather than what the customer thinks they want.
I have the same problem. It’s absurd to have your phone on do not disturb mode, and look at it and see a message stating the obvious.
It means each time I check it, I’m worried I missed something.
since it's clearly a new feature in the 12 upgrade why would you waste our time suggesting it can be fixed in this way.
Ah - ok I can see that and I appreciate your perspective. Sorry for assuming the worst and thanks for clarifying. That makes plenty of sense.
