默认情况下，Android 的免打扰(Disturb)( DND ) 功能完全符合您所期望的所谓功能的功能 — 无论哪个应用程序、电话、电子邮件或短信试图找到您，操作系统(operating system)(OS) 都会等待直到您在显示和/或播放和/或振动通知之前关闭免打扰。(DND)
但是，如果您期待一个重要的电话，或者等待来自PayPal的重要(PayPal)付款通知(payment notification)，该怎么办？或者，无论您在做什么，您都想与之交谈的那个人期待已久的文字呢？
好消息是，操作系统通过 DND 的一个子集提供
了对哪些数据、来自哪个应用程序、一直到来自谁的广泛控制，实际上穿透了(DND—extensive)DND 面纱(DND veil)，以及何时。但是在查看和修改
DND的行为之前，让我们首先确保Notifications 函数(Notifications function)本身设置为最佳。
取消唠叨的应用程序(Nullifying Nagging Apps)
几乎每个应用程序都有一件事或另一件事要通知您，其中一些过于重要。我不了解你，但当我的网上银行应用程序(online banking app)发生政策变化(policy change)或手机上的每个应用程序都有可用更新时，我不需要立即被告知。坦率地说(Frankly)，在我看来，我的应用程序中只有少数有什么重要的要说的。
我不建议您安装的每个应用程序都使用以下过程，但主要针对那些您收到不需要的通知并想要停止它们的应用程序。
注意：(Note:)对于本程序和本文中的任何其他程序，程序和位置名称可能会根据您的 Android 版本和手机制造商而略有不同。( For this procedure
and any other in this article, procedures and location names may be slightly
different based on your Android version and the maker of your phone.)
- 在所有(All)应用程序列表中，滚动到您要更改通知的应用程序，然后点击它以将其打开。
- 滚动到通知。
(Notifications.
)如果通知打开，应用程序将标记为Allowed，否则，标签将显示Blocked。
- 点击应用名称(app name)并使用切换按钮(toggle button)设置所需的通知设置。
使用优先模式控制 DnD(Controlling DnD with Priority Mode )
本质上，请勿打扰(Disturb)所做的是禁用 Android 的通知系统(Notifications system)，直到您设置参数以在DND 路障(DND barricade)上戳洞。
请务必注意，并非所有手机和操作系统版本都使用完全相同的术语。例如，在我的Galaxy上，我们将使用DND Exceptions。然后，该过程的第一部分是激活DND，如下所示：
当然，点击立即开启(Turn on Now)，将设备置于免打扰模式(DND mode)。您可以使用Allow Exceptions(Allow Exceptions)设置参数。
调度 DnD 模式(Scheduling DnD Mode)
与几乎所有事件一样，Android允许您将DND设置为在一周中的每一天的特定时间开始和停止。点击按计划开启(Turn on as Scheduled)（或其等效项）将显示类似于日历应用程序(calendar app)的事件计划屏幕的屏幕，如下所示：
从这里，在打开调度后，您可以设置您希望DND运行的日期以及开始和结束时间。在某些 Android 上可能会有所不同，但在我的Galaxy Note 9上，我无法为特定日期设置不同的激活期；这是一个万能的场景。但是，我可以随时使用前面提到的“立即打开/立即关闭”切换关闭(Turn)Now/Turn。(DND)
设置 DnD 例外(Setting DnD Exceptions )
能够告诉您的手机，“不要在晚上 10 点到早上 6 点之间打扰我”，然后消失一夜，这让您感到非常舒适。但是，有太多可能的重要事件让我们同时置之不理。
告诉你的电话，“不要在晚上 10 点到早上 6点之间打扰我——除非杰姬(AM—unless Jackie)来电”，这不是更令人欣慰吗？怎么样，“保留所有电话、短信和电子邮件，除了我女儿在医院的产房。”(maternity room)
你明白了。当您不必担心您可能会错过什么时，DND会更有效。(DND)根据您的手机，您可以在“请勿
打扰(Disturb)”的小节中设置例外规则，该小节可通过“设置”(Settings)中的“通知(Notifications)”访问，如下所示。
- 转到手机上的设置(Settings)（
从任何屏幕顶部向下拖动并点击设置(Settings)（齿轮）图标或点击应用程序托盘中的设置(Settings )（也是齿轮图标）。
- 选择应用程序和通知(Apps
& Notifications)，或者如果您使用的是三星(Samsung)或其他设备，在单独的小节中有“应用程序”和“通知”，请选择通知( Notifications)。
- 在通知面板中，点击请勿打扰(Do Not Disturb)。根据您的手机，您在此处看到的内容可能会有所不同，但选项中有“
允许例外(
Allow Exceptions)”或等效项。点击那个。
请注意(Notice)
您可以为其创建例外的不同类型的事件，例如呼叫、短信、事件和任务警报以及提醒。同样(Again)，每种手机类型和操作系统版本对此的处理方式略有不同，但不会有太大差异，以至于您在跟进时会遇到任何麻烦。
对于呼叫和消息，您有多种选择。例如，您可以允许所有呼叫通过；仅允许来自您的通讯录应用程序中的呼叫，或仅允许在您的通讯录应用程序中标记为收藏夹（或“已加星标”）的呼叫。短信的选项是相同的。
如果不是很明显，那么限制仅接收来自特定人员的消息和电话的方法是将它们指定为您的联系人应用程序中的收藏夹。
另一种使免打扰(DND)更高效且不那么无情的方法是重复呼叫者( Repeat Callers)选项。通常，在紧急情况下，大多数人会尝试不止一次给您打电话。
发生这种情况时，当第二个电话在第一个电话后 15 分钟内来自同一个号码，并且打开了重复(Repeat) 来电者(Callers)时，DND将允许该电话通过。当然，这并不完全是万无一失的，而是一个不错的选择。
还有很多事情要做(Lots more to do)
请勿打扰(Disturb)在某些设备上比其他设备更强大，并且在大多数情况下，我在这里仅介绍了基础知识。例如，您可以修改在特定场景中使用哪些类型的通知（即声音、图标徽章(icon badge)、振动等）。
比如说(Say)，告诉Android在发出通知时不要打开屏幕，或者当您已经在手机上进行某项操作时停止弹出通知。
无论如何，您可能还有其他几种方法可以告诉Android何时以及如何打扰您；我们在这里介绍的内容应该可以帮助您入门。
How to Configure Do Not Disturb Settings on Android
By default, Android’s Do Not Disturb (DND) does exactly whаt you’d еxpect the so-named feature to do—no matter what app, call, email, or text mеssage tries to find you, the operating system (ОS) waits until you turn DND off before displaying and/оr playing and/or vіbrating a notification.
But what if you’re expecting an important call, or perhaps awaiting a critical payment notification from PayPal? Or what about that much-anticipated text from that one person you want to talk to no matter what you’re doing?
The good news is that the OS provides—via a subset of DND—extensive
controls over what data, from which app, right down to from whom, actually pierces
the DND veil, and when. But before looking at and modifying the behavior of
DND, let’s start by making sure that the Notifications function itself is set
up optimally.
Nullifying Nagging Apps
Nearly every app has one thing or another it wants to notify
you about, some of them excessively so. I don’t know about you, but I don’t
need to be told immediately when my online banking app has a policy change or each
time an update has become available for every single app on my phone. Frankly, in
my opinion, only a few of my apps have anything critical to say.
I don’t suggest the following procedure for every app you have installed, but primarily for those for which you receive unwanted notices and want to stop them.
Note: For this procedure
and any other in this article, procedures and location names may be slightly
different based on your Android version and the maker of your phone.
- In the All apps list, scroll to the one you want to
change notifications for and tap it to open it.
- Scroll to Notifications.
If notifications are on, the app will be labeled Allowed, if not, the label will say Blocked.
- Tap the app name and use the toggle button to set the
desired notifications setting.
Controlling DnD with Priority Mode
Essentially, what Do Not Disturb does is disable Android’s Notifications system, until, that is, you set up parameters to poke holes in the DND barricade.
It’s important to note that not all phones and OS versions use exactly the same terminology. On my Galaxy, for example, we’ll be working with DND Exceptions. Part One in the procedure, then, is to activate DND, as follows:
Tapping Turn on Now, of course, puts the device in DND mode. You can set up parameters with Allow Exceptions.
Scheduling DnD Mode
As it does with just about any event, Android lets you set up DND to start and stop at specific times on each day of the week. Tapping Turn on as Scheduled (or its equivalent) will display a screen similar to your calendar app’s event scheduling screen, as shown here:
From here, after turning on scheduling, you can set which days you want DND to run and start and end times. On some Androids it may be different, but on my Galaxy Note 9, I cannot set different activation periods for specific days; it’s a one-fits-all scenario. I can, however, turn off DND whenever I want with the Turn on Now/Turn off Now toggle mentioned earlier.
Setting DnD Exceptions
There’s great comfort in having the ability to tell your phone, “Don’t bother me between 10 PM and 6 AM,” and then disappear for the night. But there are oh so many possible important events that we turn our backs to at the same time.
Isn’t telling your phone, “Don’t bother me between 10 PM and 6 AM—unless Jackie calls,” all the more comforting? How about, “Hold all calls, texts, and emails, except those from my daughter’s maternity room at the hospital.”
You get the idea. DND is much
more effective when you don’t have to worry about what you might miss.
Depending on your phone, you set up exception rules in a subsection of Do Not
Disturb, which is accessible via Notifications in Settings, as follows.
- Go to Settings
on your phone (either drag down from the top of any screen and tap the Settings (gear) icon or tap Settings (also a gear icon) in the app
tray.
- Choose Apps
& Notifications, or if you’re using a Samsung or another device with
“Apps” and “Notifications” in separate subsections, choose Notifications.
- In the Notifications panel, tap Do Not Disturb. Depending on your phone, what you see here may
differ some, but among the options is an
Allow Exceptions or something equivalent. Tap that.
Notice
the different types of events, such as calls, text messages, event and task
alerts, and reminders, for which you can create exceptions. Again, each phone
type and OS version handles this a little bit differently, but not so much so
that you should have any trouble following along.
With calls and messages, you have several options. You can, for example, allow all calls through; allow calls from only those in your Contacts app, or only those marked as favorites (or “starred”) in your Contacts app. The options for text messages are the same.
In case it’s not obvious, then, the way to restrict the receipt of messages and calls from only specific people is by designating them as favorites in your Contacts app.
One more way to make DND a little more efficient and not nearly as unforgiving, is the Repeat Callers option. Typically, in emergencies most people will try to call you more than once.
When that happens, when a second call comes from the same number within 15 minutes of the first call, with Repeat Callers turned on, DND will allow the call to go through. Granted, this is not exactly foolproof, but a nice option.
Lots more to do
Do Not Disturb is more robust on some devices than others, and for the most part I’ve covered just the basics here. You can, for example, modify which kinds of notifications (i.e., sound, icon badge, vibration, and so on) are used in specific scenarios.
Say, for instance, telling Android not to turn the screen on when making a notification, or stopping pop up notifications when you are already in the middle of something on your phone.
In any case, there may be
several other ways for you to tell Android when and how it’s appropriate to
bother you; what we covered here should get you started.
