What if the snooze feature is enabled? Does that affect how the alarm works in DND mode?

Good question! Typically, snooze should still work. Just double-check the settings in your alarm app to make sure everything is configured correctly.

I’ve had issues where my alarms didn’t go off after enabling DND. It was because I accidentally set the alarm to ‘silent’. Always double-check those settings!
That’s a solid point! I always thought DND would just mute calls. It’s good to double-check!
Make sure to test different volumes. Sometimes alarms are set to a low volume, which can be missed if you’re a deep sleeper like I am.

Definitely! I nearly missed an important meeting because my alarm was too quiet. Ugh!

Did you guys know that some apps have extra settings for DND? Like allowing alarms to bypass the mode? Check those out if you haven’t!

That’s really interesting! I didn’t realize there were those options. I’ll have to explore my alarm app settings more deeply!
I’m intrigued! If there’s a way to make sure it works, I’m all for it!
If all else fails and you’re worried, consider using a backup alarm device, like a traditional clock. Sometimes tech can be unpredictable!
That’s a great idea! Old-school reliable clocks never fail, right?

I remember setting the alarm and thinking it would totally wake me, only to snooze it accidentally. Gotta be careful!
LOL! I’ve done that too! You think you’re just clicking the right button, but it lands on snooze instead. It’s like a bad comedy sketch!
I really struggled with this at first. My iPhone alarm still goes off on Do Not Disturb mode, which is great! But I learned that you have to allow alarms in the settings. Just wanted to clarify that for others!
That’s good to know! I’ve always been concerned my alarms wouldn’t work when using DND. Any tips on how to set this up effectively?
I use an Android phone, and here alarms work on DND, too. However, if you have scheduled Do Not Disturb during specific hours, make sure your alarms are outside those times. Otherwise, you’ll miss them!
Good point! I had mine set up wrong a while back and missed a few important alarms. Thanks for the reminder!
I’ve started using a third-party app called Alarmy. It has a really cool feature that bypasses DND for essential alarms. It’s super useful if you need an extra nudge in the morning!
That sounds interesting! I usually just rely on my built-in alarm, but I might check it out. Does it work well?

Yes! Alarmy has been a game-changer for me. You can even customize alarm sounds, which is a bonus. Plus, the challenge feature wakes you up by forcing you to complete tasks!
