While our phones are the best way to stay in touch with our loved ones, there are times when the distractions from notifications are too much. In those cases, Do Not Disturb mode is a real lifesaver. While this mode essentially reduces notifications and alerts from apps, it can be customized for an improved experience. Well, with Android 15, Do Not Disturb’s customization options have been enhanced.
A few hours ago, Google released Android 15 QPR 1 Beta 1 and among its new features are precisely the new settings for Do Not Disturb mode. Be careful because it’s not just that they have a new name, but also that they have been given a good facelift with a new quick settings tile and more options. This is what the new Do Not Disturb mode will look like in Android 15.
What’s changing in Android 15’s Do Not Disturb mode
As Android expert Mishaal Rahman explains on Android Authority, there aren’t any major visual changes to what’s available for testing in Android 15 QPR1 Beta 1 beyond the appearance of an icon under the main header of the screen and options buttons in the apps section.

Also, the ‘Display options for filtered notifications’ have been simplified to the point that only the ‘Display settings’ remain, which has been integrated into the screen section. It is precisely in this section where new options arise such as activating the grayscale, deactivating the always-on display mode, dimming the screen background or enabling dark mode. In short, that Google wants the screen to be less of a focus in Android 15’s do not disturb mode.
The ‘Schedules’ option is also gone, but not because it’s been completely removed: you can activate Do Not Disturb mode manually from Settings or Quick Settings, but if you want to set a schedule, then you’ll have to create a Priority mode.
What is Priority mode? The supercharged version of Do Not Disturb modein a nutshell. You get there via the same route, but it includes Do Not Disturb mode and the mode you create. That is, you can give it the name and icon you want, an activation method, screen settings, and notification settings. So, although the interface has been simplified, the options have increased.
Google is designing a new revamped Do Not Disturb mode where we have more freedom to configure what is priority and what is left on a secondary level. Although this interface seems quite advanced in Android 15 QPR1 Beta 1, it is worth remembering that This new feature and any other in beta phase It is subject to both possible changes and being left in the pipeline when Android 15 becomes a reality available to all its users.
