Beyond the Screen:

Do Not Disturb (DND) is a built-in software feature on smartphones, tablets, and computers that silences incoming alerts, calls, and notifications to minimize digital distractions. Unlike a standard “Silent Mode” which mutes your phone completely but still lights up your screen, DND serves as a smart gatekeeper. It suppresses both audible sounds and visual wake-ups while giving you fine-grained control over who and what can interrupt you.
