Snapchat sends notifications for every snap, which can frustrate you repeatedly. In that case, you need a way of muting the notifications from a given person or group so that you can access their snaps later but won’t receive any notification for their activities. We will discuss the “Do Not Disturb” feature on Snapchat, when to use it, and offer the steps for turning it on and off. Also, we will cover what happens when you enable the “Do Not Disturb” feature.
What is “Do Not Disturb” on Snapchat?
When you don’t want to receive notifications from your phone, what do you do? You mute it, right? On some phones, you enable the “Do Not Disturb” mode, which ensures no notification of any activity, including phone calls, will go through. That’s the same logic used on Snapchat. Here’s the thing: Snapchat sends notifications whenever someone starts typing and when they send you a snap. One doesn’t hurt, but if you have a friend who wants to keep their snap score high by constantly messaging you, the notifications will annoy you. Furthermore, if it’s a Snapchat group, the notifications can flood your phone. Luckily, Snapchat offers the “Do Not Disturb” feature. With it, you can turn it on for a friend or Snapchat group so that you won’t receive any notifications relating to activities from them, including snapping. It gets better since you will only know they snapped when you open your Snapchat and access your chats section. That way, you get to stay focused and undisturbed.
What Happens When “Do No Disturb” is Enabled?
The “Do Not Disturb” feature doesn’t block the target person. Therefore, you will still get their messages in your inbox, only that you won’t get notified that they messaged you. Besides, when you enable the feature, the target person won’t know what you’ve done as Snapchat doesn’t inform them of your action. Note that you don’t set a duration for the “Do No Disturb” feature. Instead, it will remain turned on until you manually turn it off. Are you ready to try the Do Not Disturb feature? Follow the steps in the next section.
