1. What is Do Not Disturb Mode?

Do Not Disturb mode is a feature on both Android and iPhone devices that silences notifications, calls, and alerts. When DND mode is activated, your phone won't ring or display notifications unless you've allowed exceptions.


How DND Mode Affects Silvertree Notifications:

When DND mode is on, you might miss important notifications from the Silvertree app, such as:

  • SOS alerts

  • Battery warnings

  • Care group updates

  • Hugs and invitations
