Android and iPhone have a silent mode that mutes all sounds. In addition to the Silent Mode, you can use a mode called ‘DND’ or Do Not Disturb, which provides more control over notifications and sound interruptions.

On Do Not Disturb mode, you get more control over the sounds, such as selecting which apps can send you the notifications, which calls are allowed, whether the Alarms will ring in DND mode, etc.

While the Do Not Disturb mode on iPhones and Android is helpful, many users are confused about how it works. For example, if you are an avid sleeper, you may wonder, ‘Will my Alarm Go off on Do Not Disturb?’

Will My Alarm Go Off on Do Not Disturb?

Whether your alarm will go off in DND mode depends on your phone and its operating system.

For example, some Android smartphones turn off the Alarm tone when the Do Not Disturb is enabled. On most Android phones, the default Do Not Disturb Settings doesn’t interfere with the functionality of Alarms, Timers, or Calendar Events.

Will My Alarm Go Off on Do Not Disturb Android?

No! If you haven’t modified your Android smartphone’s DND settings, your Alarm will work even when the Do Not Disturb mode is enabled.

Most Android smartphone alarms are designed to override the ‘Do Not Disturb’ or ‘Silent’ Mode and function as intended.

Will my alarm still go off on Do Not Disturb Samsung?

On the Samsung Galaxy smartphone, you have a few exceptions. Samsung Galaxy phones provide more control over the Do Not Disturb mode.

So, the Alarm you’ve set on your Samsung Galaxy smartphone is supposed to work, even when the Do Not Disturb Mode is enabled, provided you haven’t altered the DND mode’s settings.

How to Enable Do Not Disturb Mode on Android?

2. On Settings, scroll down and tap on Sound & Vibration.

Will my alarm work on Do Not Disturb iPhone?

It’s usual for users to wonder whether the Alarm will work when their iPhone is in Do Not Disturb mode. Don’t worry; the Alarm will ring even when the iPhone is in Do Not Disturb Mode.

Like Android, the iPhone also silences text messages, notifications, and phone calls, but it doesn’t interfere with the functionality of Alarms.

Your Alarm will still sound, but all notifications and calls will be silenced. However, if you are using a third-party Alarm app on your iPhone, you need to manually enable the Alarm sound of that app in the DND mode settings.

• Open the Settings app on your iPhone and tap on Focus.
• On the Focus, tap on Do Not Disturb.
• On the Do Not Disturb screen, tap on the Apps.
• Next, select Allow Notifications From and tap on the (+) Add button.
• Now select the third-party alarm app for which you want the Alarm to ring.
• Once done, tap on the Done button to apply the changes.

Why is My Alarm Not Going Off on Do Not Disturb Mode?

If your alarm is not going off in the Do Not Disturb mode, you must take care of a few things. First, you need to check whether you have set the correct date & time for the alarm. Usually, people make mistakes when selecting the AM or PM on the alarm.

You also need to cross-check whether the alarm sound is enabled. If these steps didn’t help, ensure your DND mode settings don’t block the Alarms & Timers.

We have discussed whether your alarm will work in Do Not Disturb mode. Whether you use an Android or iPhone, the alarm should work with the default DND settings. If it does not, you must ensure the DND settings are properly configured. If the Alarm fails to ring when the DND mode is enabled, you can also try restarting your phone.
