Hi

Just bought an Iphone8 for my daughter. Normally I set her phone to switch into Do not disturb mode during school hours, Monday to Friday, and also at night time.
Am I right in thinking that this cannot be done on an iphone8?? I cannot set individual days?
Is there a way of setting monday to friday alarms, and leave the weekend out of the schedule?

Many thanks
 
Separate daily scheduling of DND isn’t possible. But DND is visible in control center. Just tap it to turn on or off.
 
Ok, thanks
My first experience with an Iphone and Im very suprised this basic function isnt possible.
My daughter is 12 with a serious medical condition that affects hee cognition, she doesn't always remember to turn on and off DnD mode.

Oh well. back to android.
 
Slightly confused here, mines scheduled and you can add multiple schedules.

Settings > Focus > Do Not Disturb:

This is also possible on an iphone 8 using the Shortcuts app (built in, or free to install from apple) on ios 14.x


You will need a shortcuts guru to help you craft compound rules, or find a Shortcuts sites and model it yourself.
