I accidentally enabled Do Not Disturb on my iPhone and I’m not receiving call or text notifications. Can someone guide me on how to turn it off? Thanks in advance for your help!
Oh nooo, the dreaded Do Not Disturb mystery strikes again! Fear not, here’s how to fix it before your social life crumbles into despair. Swipe down from the upper-right corner of your screen (that is if you’re rocking an iPhone with Face ID; if not, swipe up from the bottom like it’s 2016). Look for the moon icon – yes, the MOON. If it’s lit up, congrats, you’ve successfully silenced yourself from the universe. Tap that bad boy, and voilà, welcome back to the world of calls and texts.
No moon? It might be a scheduling thing. Go to Settings > Do Not Disturb and ensure it’s not set to automatically turn on during certain times… unless solitude is secretly your thing. You’re basically one toggle away from normality again. 
Okay, but hear me out – before you start swiping and tapping away, let’s talk about Focus modes because maybe it’s not just the Do Not Disturb setting. Apple decided to bundle all these Focus features together (because why keep it simple, right?), so if you’re messing with those, the notifications might not come through anyway. You could be under some other preset like ‘Work Focus,’ which ALSO mutes everything.
Here’s my two cents that adds to @jeff’s moon insights: after swiping down for the Control Center, press and hold the moon icon instead of just tapping it. That’ll bring up a menu of other Focus modes that might be turned on accidentally (don’t blame yourself, Apple UI can be sneaky). Then, simply tap “Do Not Disturb” again to completely deselect it.
And hey, if none of that works – double-check your Notification Settings under Settings > Notifications. Sometimes people unknowingly tweak those while endlessly scrolling through men—err, I mean, adjusting their iPhones. Stuff like “Allow Notifications” might be off for calls and texts, and that’s a whole other rabbit hole.
Long story short: Tap the moon, explore the Focus menu, but don’t only fixate on Do Not Disturb because Apple’s low-key playing the long game with these features. Think of it like a conspiracy against your vibes.
