To turn off Do Not Disturb (DND) on your iPhone, follow these steps:
- Open Control Center
- On iPhone X and later, swipe down from the top-right corner of the screen.
- On earlier models, swipe up from the bottom of the screen.
- Tap the Focus button (crescent moon icon)
- This button represents Do Not Disturb. If DND is on, the moon icon will be highlighted or visible.
- Tap it once to turn Do Not Disturb off. The moon icon will disappear from the status bar and lock screen, indicating DND is disabled
You can also ask Siri to turn off Do Not Disturb by saying, "Turn off Do Not Disturb"
. If you want to prevent Do Not Disturb from turning on automatically at scheduled times, go to Settings > Focus > Do Not Disturb and disable any schedules you have set
. This method works on all iPhones running iOS 15 and later, including the latest iPhone models like iPhone 15 and iPhone 16
Summary
- Swipe down from top-right corner (or up from bottom) to open Control Center
- Tap the Focus (moon) icon to toggle Do Not Disturb off
- Confirm the moon icon disappears from status bar
- Optionally disable scheduled DND in Settings > Focus > Do Not Disturb
