Resolved Notifications despite "do not disturb"

[Maddie493]

The "Do no disturb" function is brilliant, except that notifications still appear on my home screen and in the notification centre. Is it possible to turn on/off notifications completely?

I'd like to use my phone for non-communication stuff without being bothered by notifications and red alerts on my home screen telling me I have new messages. I can achieve this by going into Settings -> Notifications -> Turn off notifications for each individual app. But there must be a faster way to do this.

Thanks!

The Settings -> Notifications way you described is the only way I know of

Do not disturb is there to basically silence and stop visual alerts, but they will still quietly appear in Notification Center or home screen or with badges if that's what you have enabled for apps. The only way to change that is to change the settings for each app to what you want (or to say no to notifications initially when you start using an app and it prompts you as to whether or not you want to get notifications from it).
