Do Not Disturb mode is being supercharged in Android 15: Here’s how

Google is preparing to supercharge Android’s Do Not Disturb mode settings in Android 15.
Hidden within the latest Android 15 QPR1 beta is a new Priority Mode menu that lets you create fully customizable Do Not Disturb schedules.
Priority Mode used to exist in some older versions of Android, but it was removed several years ago.

One of the best parts of owning a smartphone is how it keeps us connected to what’s going on with our friends, family members, and other people we share interests with.

Do Not Disturb mode can be customized in a variety of ways through the Settings app, and in Android 15, those customization options could be greatly expanded.

Google released Android 15 QPR1 Beta 1 earlier today, and while digging through it to find what’s new, I discovered many changes to Do Not Disturb mode settings. Google is not only preparing to rename the Do Not Disturb mode entry point but also working on tweaking the Do Not Disturb settings UI, adding a new Quick Settings tile, and introducing many new customization options. With a bit of tinkering, I managed to fully activate the new experience, so here’s a first look.
