The state where alerts from applications on Apple’s mobile operating system are intentionally suppressed. This can be achieved through various mechanisms, such as Focus modes, scheduled summaries, or individually disabling notifications within app settings. For example, a user might activate “Do Not Disturb” to prevent any audible or visual interruptions during sleep.

The ability to control when and how alerts are received allows individuals to prioritize tasks and minimize distractions. Historically, users have sought methods to filter the constant stream of incoming information, leading to the development of increasingly sophisticated notification management tools.
