Do Not Disturb has evolved on both iPhones and Android phones.

It’s no longer just a simple block on notifications and distractions, but rather a selection of modes you can customize to suit all the different scenarios in your life.

This means you have more control over which apps and contacts can interrupt you and when.

If you want Slack to be able to send you alerts during office hours but not family time, for example, you can set this up with just a few taps.

Samsung has already created plenty to get you started, including Sleep Exercise and Work Exercise .

You can choose modes from the Modes and Routines screen or on a schedule.

In Gmail , you can choose to only get alerts about high priority emails, rather than everything coming to your inbox.

The Restrict app usage option lets you go even further and block certain apps from being used while the mode is active.
