As the title says, DnD doesn't work properly on my s25 phone. I have sent appropriate pictures below showing that I have it turned on, turned off pop up notifications, and made sure to include Discord in the list of apps to NOT allow. As you can see though, it still goes through with vibrations and notification sounds and all. This isn't exclusive to discord, it's every app on the phone where it says one thing but does the other. What can I do about this or what should I do? I've heard that tons of people are having problems with notifications or DND on their phones so I know it isn't just me with this issue

Sorry about late response. I've sent the phone to Samsung service, they re-softed the phone and it works exactly as before. As expected nothing changed due to lack implementation of DND. I've found some topic related to our problem on Android issue tracker https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/378796883#comment3. I suggest you all to vote the issue in order to be implemented.

Hi everyone,

I've did some tests and I've found out that, even if in default apps for Phone App  I set Phone and for SMS app I set Messages, WhatsApp+Discord+Others are categorized as Phone and Messages apps being allowed to do calls and send receive messages. All normal people think that WhatsApp Discord and others are NOT native applications and they must have notification settings in App notifications, instead Android categorize WhatsApp+ Discord as Calling and messaging apps. With current settings I do not think that it is possible in DND to deny all apps  notifications and allow only celular tower cell calls and sms messages 


This being said and with years of crappy DND mode I think Android missed this part and treat us as consumers and they don't care about us. The bug may be solved by Samsung code layer....if they want this

Actually I found a solution for it too! It's not just the messaging app but I'm about to post the full solution in the comments because it is still stupid

So I found the solution, albeit it's a dumb one. Go to your DnD settings and have the bottom two "Calls and Messages" set as anything else BUT all. By doing this, my DnD was now working perfectly across ALL apps I chose to silence or apps I chose to make sounds. If I had to guess it, this phone or at least UI or whatever One UI version has a glitch. By setting this filter first, it's like it actually KNOWS how to filter now and will work properly, but selecting all and it skips the crucial important step. It's like building a using a ladder. Your phone can't climb a ladder without it building it first.

Now, I still think it's a bug and not intentional because these social media apps that was giving me trouble are separate apps that send messages and calls to an account, not your number which "Calls and Messages" uses, PLUS it wouldn't stop my YouTube from having pop ups and that's not a messaging app nor has capabilities unless if you include comments. Additionally, the other settings say that they'll get the other apps that you installed and whatnot but clearly didn't.

All in all, I found the "solution" but it's really moreso setting up a prerequisite for a work around rather than it working naturally. It's like using a different math formula for a question and still getting it right. Yeah you got it correct but you didn't do it right.1752396859345.jpg

Glad I could help out in any way! Sorry you too are going through this issue and Samsung made it so complicated to do normally, but spread the word if you know of others with the same issue!

Yeah same nonsense here. Idk what update broke it, but random things are coming through DnD. I have a routine that asks me in a pop-up if I want fast or slow charging when I connect a charger, busts straight through DnD. Discord? Doesn't care, wakes me up at 3AM. WhatsApp, etc.

I'll try setting it to favorite contacts only or something, but this is stupid.

Same issue here for me on the S25 Ultra running Android 15 and One UI 7.0.

I setup the work profile with the intent of hiding/muting non-essential app notifications. 

My settings under "Stay focused" are:

  • Do not disturb: on
  • Calls and messages: some allowed
  • App notifications: allow selected apps (only a handful relevant to my work are allowed)

However, I'm still getting notifications from Facebook, Instagram, Gmail, Ring, and more, even though these are not selected in the app notifications settings. I have tried clearing the cache and no change.
