By default, the Do Not Disturb feature silences all your app notifications, phone calls, and sounds, whether you are using an iOS or Android device. But, it doesn’t necessarily prevent the alarm sound from going off.
While you’re able to manage DND settings to enable/disable the alarm on Android, you don’t have such an option on iOS devices.
Will My Alarm Go Off on Do Not Disturb?
In short, your alarm will go off even if you have enabled theDo Not Disturbmodeon iOS devices. But, if you have added other third-party alarm/reminder apps to the silence list, their alarm won’t make any sound. So, you may either remove them from the silence list or add them to the “Allow Notifications” list so that the alarm rings.
On the other hand, you may specifically configure DND to enable/disable alarm sound using built-in settings in Android devices. But even if the alarm is disabled inside the DND settings, the alarm pop-up notification will still appear on the screen. However, it won’t make any sound.
