Complete Guide to Enabling Bedtime Do Not Disturb Mode in iOS 12

The Bedtime DND feature was added in the new iOS 12 update.  This feature allows users to enjoy a peaceful and distraction-free sleep. People who regularly check their iPhones at nights will find it helpful as it stops the notifications from flashing on the screen when you are in bed.

In this blog, we will talk about the Do Not Disturb at Bedtime mode and how to activate it on iOS 12 devices.

What is DND At Bedtime?

DND at Bedtime was introduced in iOS 12. Upon turning on this mode, the incoming notifications not only get muted but they also do not flash or appear on the lock screen. To check notifications during the DND Bedtime, one has to visit the notification history. The purpose of the Do Not Disturb at Bedtime mode is to discourage users from checking notification when they should be sleeping.

Do Not Disturb Versus Do Not Disturb At Bedtime

The DND mode mutes all the incoming notification for a certain period of time. But, users can still view the notifications on the iPhone's lock screen. Also, these notifications flash on the screen as and when they come. On the contrary, Do Not Disturb in Bedtime mode mutes the notifications and makes them invisible in the lock screen. It also prevents the alerts from flashing or lightening up the screen.
