Disable iPhone’s Do Not Disturb Mode From Control Center

Using Control Center is the quickest way to turn off Do Not Disturb mode on your iPhone.

To open Control Center on an iPhone X or later, swipe down from the top-right corner of your phone’s screen. On other iPhone models, swipe up from the bottom of your phone’s screen.

When Control Center opens, tap the “Do Not Disturb” option (a moon icon).

DND is now turned off on your phone. To re-enable it, tap the same icon in Control Center.

And that’s all.
