Google Assistant may be causing Do Not Disturb to mute everything.
- Users have noticed a problem with using Google Assistant to activate Do Not Disturb mode.
- Activating Do Not Disturb with a voice prompt will cause the mode to ignore your profile settings, muting everything.
Whether you’re in the middle of studying, meditating, or about to go to sleep, there are times when you don’t want to be bothered. Thankfully, your phone has a Do Not Disturb (DND) mode that can mute distractions for you. You can even customize this mode if you need some notifications to stay unmuted. However, there now appears to be a bug that’s causing DND mode to ignore the setting profile you create.
On Reddit, a user has pointed out an issue with using Google Assistant to activate DND mode. According to the user, if you use a voice prompt like “Hey Google, do not disturb,” the mode will turn on, but everything will be muted. So if you set permissions to allow for certain contacts, apps, and alerts to interrupt while DND is on, those settings will be ignored. However, the user adds that this issue doesn’t show up if you activate DND manually.
