Can you flip the phone over for "do not disturb"?

[userKtpWweZmYa]

Other phones I've seen turn on the Do Not Disturb feature when you flip them over.  I can't seem to get that to work on my A15.  Is the only way to active Do Not Disturb is to hit the pull down button?

So far I've never heard of that feature

Thank you.  I found an app that does it.

@userKtpWweZmYa You can mute calls and alarms by putting your phone face down or covering it with your hand. You can enable it in phone settings -> Advanced features -> Motions and gestures -> Mute with gestures

It essentially does the same thing as DND.

I have been using both features for quite some time. Love the customization options on Samsung's devices. Thanks for sharing!!

I actually have that feature activated, but the only time I put my phone face down is when I go to sleep, in which case bedtime mode/DND is on anyway.

@realaud Thanks!!  What option do you use to flip it over for Do Not Disturb?  All I could find is a flip over for ignoring a call.  Have a great day.

I don't think it actually turns on do not disturb, just mutes the calls. Like I said, the only time I actually turn my phone over is when I'm sleeping (a holdover from when I used AOD) and the phone is already in sleep mode/DND.

It's not that inconvenient to turn on DND manually or you can create a routine for turning on DND automatically when certain conditions are met. Unfortunately, turning the phone over is not one of the options, although it should be.

Think I like the DND during the sleeping hours the best.  Half the time I forget to set DND anyway.
