Hey everyone,

the update has me quite frustrated.

I usually keep DND on indefinitely until I quickly turn it off when I really want to be notified of new messages.

The expected behaviour was:

Turn DND on. No notification sounds or vibration except for calls (native or third party call apps) from any source.

Now it simply ignores DND. No matter if I turn it on or off, the phone vibrates when I get a WhatsApp message. I'm forced to disable the notification vibration in the "Sounds and vibration" settings menu.

Weirdly when I use the app "Cloudya", which is a third party VoIP call app for my business calls, it gets silenced completely when DND on the phone is turned on, although it WAS working normally before (as in: calls are being notified normally) and I've now added it to the exception list inside DND. See the screenshot attached. Still no notification when I'm getting calls inside Cloudya.

So all in all it's completely useless for me. Wiping the systems cache is also impossible in contrast to the stickied post in this forum how to enter the recovery menu, instead I get a lot of notifications like "PDP backup fail setup-wizard finish".

@doctorluk There are multiple channels for sound, Rington, Media, Notifications, etc. It sounds like WhatsApp is using the Media channel for notifications. DND does not apply to Media channel sounds.
