Quiet hoursNew
Hold notifications while you sleep or focus, with room for what really matters.
Quiet hours hold your notifications for Mail, Pinglar, calls, Tasks and Calendar reminders.
- Open Settings, Notifications and turn on Quiet hours.
- Set the days and times, for example Monday to Friday, 22:00 to 07:00. Add another time for weekends if you like.
- Choose what stays quiet, and what still gets through: your Favourites, @mentions and Repeated calls (the same person calling twice within 3 minutes).
To take a break without a schedule, choose 1 hour or Until tomorrow under Pause notifications here, or open the notifications bell, click the three dots in its top corner and pick Pause for 1 hour or Pause until tomorrow. The same menu has Notification settings.
Messages still arrive while it's quiet, just without a sound or a notification. When quiet hours end you get one short summary of what you missed.
What other people see
If you turn on Show others I'm in quiet hours, people see a small moon on your picture, and when they write to you they see when your quiet hours end. Their messages arrive quietly. They can also:
- choose Send at to have it arrive when your quiet hours end, or
- choose Notify anyway for something that can't wait. You decide who may do this: everyone, your favourites or nobody, and each person can only do it once an hour.
Anyone can also choose Send quietly in the send options at any time.
