How to Receive Weather Alerts During Do Not Disturb Mode

Staying informed about severe weather is crucial, especially when your phone is set to Do Not Disturb (DND) mode. By configuring your device settings appropriately, you can receive essential weather alerts without compromising your peace.

Understanding Do Not Disturb Mode

Do Not Disturb mode silences calls, alerts, and notifications, allowing you to focus without interruptions. However, this can also prevent important weather warnings from reaching you.

2. Allow Alerts During DND:

• Under Allowed Notifications, select People and Apps.
• Add your weather app to the Apps list to receive alerts even when DND is active.

For Android Users:

1. Enable Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA):

• Go to Settings > Safety & Emergency > Wireless Emergency Alerts.
