Why is My Alarm Not Going Off on Do Not Disturb Mode?

In most cases, alarms should still go off even when your device is in “Do Not Disturb” (DND) mode. However, there are certain settings and conditions that might affect the behaviour of alarms in this mode. Here are some common reasons why your alarm may not be going off in “Do Not Disturb” mode:

1. Alarm Sound Settings: Check the sound settings for your alarm. If you have selected a sound that is affected by the “Do Not Disturb” mode, it may not play. Ensure that your alarm sound is set to a tone that is not muted during DND.
2. Priority Mode: Some devices have a feature called Priority mode within the “Do Not Disturb” settings. If your device is set to Priority mode and alarms are not marked as a priority, they may not go off. Make sure alarms are allowed in Priority mode.
3. Alarms Set as Reminders or Events: If your alarm is set as a reminder or event in your calendar app, it might be affected by the DND settings for reminders or events. Check the specific settings for these features.
4. App-Specific Settings: If you are using a third-party alarm app, check its settings for any specific options related to the “Do Not Disturb” mode. Some alarm apps have their own settings that can make changes to your device’s system settings.
5. Software Bugs: it is possible that software bugs or glitches may affect the proper functioning of alarms. Ensure that your device’s operating system is up to date.
6. Volume Settings: If your device is in silent mode or the volume is turned off, then there Is a possibility that your alarm may not ring. Please check the volume settings and ensure that your volume levels are high.
7. Do Not Disturb Schedule: Check if you have a specific schedule set for “Do Not Disturb.” If your alarm is set to go off during a scheduled DND period, it may be affected.

If you’ve checked all these settings and your alarm still isn’t going off in “Do Not Disturb” mode, there may be a specific issue with your device or its software. In such cases, you may want to contact your device’s support and get your phone checked at the service centre.
