Are you the one who also thinks whenever there’s something important going on, or something intense, your friends spoil it? Oh yes, Hi5. I welcome you with the new Snapchat feature, which will help you enjoy your important moments and events without any disturbance.
This new Snapchat feature is known as “DND” mode. At times, things get frustrating. Though people like snapping a lot, at times that beep sound is very annoying when you are out at some important event, or anything.
Explanation of “DND” on Snapchat?
“ DND” referred to as “Do not Disturb” , is a feature on snapchat which allows the users to mute the notifications from the platform. If you activate DND mode on your snapchat account, you will not receive any notifications from the group or chat that you have muted.
What happens when you enable DND mode?
It is often misunderstood as blocking people. At least what I have heard till now. But it only mutes the notifications of the snaps or messages sent and it doesn’t block them. Also, there is no time constraint in this, you can remove the person from DND whenever you feel like.
Steps for Enabling DND on Snapchat
- We will start with opening the snap and then clicking on your bit emoji on the top of the screen.
- Move to the “My friends” section and long press on the person whose notifications you want to mute.
- In the menu you get, click on “ chat settings” followed by the “ Message notifications” option.
- Turn the toggle off and hit the “Done’ button, as soon as you do it, the DND mode will be activated and you’ll get no notifications on your device from that person.
Steps for Disabling DND on Snapchat
- Open the Snapchat app on your device.
- Swipe down from the camera screen and you will see the option” Settings.”
- Tap on the gear icon to access the settings menu
- Scroll down and tap on “Notification Settings.”
