iOS 15 Removes Do Not Disturb Option That Silenced Notifications Only When iPhone Was Locked

[DMIND00]

Tell me about it. For years I have used DnD on a time schedule to silence the phone at night. Today it woke me up in the middle of the night when some emails arrived, because iOS 15 did't carry over the DnD schedule. Then I had trouble finding where in the settings the feature now is, all at 2am and barely awake. I also find the "focus" settings overloaded and pretty confusing.

I totally agree. It did the same to me early in the morning. 😡 Why apple does not send out a simple bullet point email to their users on the changes they are doing in their new updates is wrong. Customers need to know this and in a clear direct manner. They do a general paragraph statement on your phone about the features. They just as well not even write that. I too was woken up early in the morning. And yes they have made it way to complicated. Its as if Apple thinks they have to constantly change things, even when they do not need to. The all or none is very stupid on their part. it is not the first time. I love my apple products but when they make changes similar to this then I start thinking twice about apple.

And now we are november 2022... and they still didn't bring that BASIC feature back...
What's wrong with Apple to add new feature that almost nobody will ever use, but delete old features that have been there for years?!? They could just have kept that feature, or at least restored it with iOS 16... but no :| I'm so sick of Apple for their habit of deleting old features people loved, for absolutely no reason at all...

Anyone tried iOS 17 beta? I don’t want to get too optimistic but could it be after 2 YEARS they’ve finally fixed it?
