Customize Do Not Disturb Mode on Android Lollipop

Since the times of Nokia mobiles, we have always been addicted to maintain certain profiles on our smartphones, so that we don’t have to press that Volume Button down again and again before entering into a meeting. It will be great if we could just select a profile and the rest is taken care of automatically. There is something very similar available on all the Lollipop devices, where you will have the option of putting your smartphone under three type of condition.

One of them means putting phone under absolute Do Not Disturb mode, whereas the other one would allow only certain reminders or alarms to bump in but it will not disturb you on any call or Messages. The third one would be to put your smartphone in the normal condition where you would allow your smartphone to alert you in case of even a small message received at your end. In this article we will tell you that how you can use this feature on your Android Lollipop smartphones.

The first one, denoted by ‘None’ means complete no disturbance, which means that no matter what ever alarm or reminder you have schooled during that time, you will not be disturbed by it. You can also set the time frame for such profile. This is usually helpful when you are going to be in a meeting for a certain time or if you are meet someone for really important purpose.
