where is the do not disturb on my iphone

On recent iPhones, Do Not Disturb lives inside the Focus settings and Control Center.

Quick answer

• Swipe down from the top‑right corner of the screen to open Control Center (on iPhone X and newer; swipe up from the bottom on older models).

• Tap the Focus button (crescent‑moon icon), then tap Do Not Disturb to turn it on or off.

Where it “moved” to

Apple folded classic Do Not Disturb into a broader feature called Focus starting with iOS 15, so you won’t see a big standalone “Do Not Disturb” toggle on the main screen anymore.

• The crescent‑moon icon now appears inside the Focus tile in Control Center.

• When Do Not Disturb is on, that icon also shows in the status bar and Lock Screen.

Finding it in Settings

If you prefer menus instead of swipes:

• Open Settings → Focus → Do Not Disturb.

• Here you can tweak who can reach you, which apps are allowed, and set schedules so it turns on automatically at night or during work.

Older vs newer iPhones

The gesture to open Control Center depends on your model:

• iPhone X and newer (no Home button): swipe down from the top‑right corner.

• iPhone 8 and earlier (with Home button): swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen.

Once Control Center is open, the Focus → Do Not Disturb path is the same.
