Question

How to prevent my phone from automatically turning on 'Do not Disturb'?

Answer

It seems that the 'Silence Notification While Driving' feature by Android/Google Play Services is enabled on your device. This feature turns on 'Do Not Disturb' mode automatically when you're driving to reduce distractions such as calls and messages. Your device detects movement using motion and Bluetooth signals. Follow these steps to disable this feature:

1. Go to Settings.
2. Tap Apps > More (three dots).
3. Select Special Access.
4. Find and tap 'Do Not Disturb Permission'.
5. Scroll down and select 'Google Play Services'.
6. Turn off 'Allow 'Do Not Disturb'.

Alternatively, you can follow these steps:

1. Open Settings.
2. Tap 'Google'.
3. Select 'Personal Safety'.
