How can I completely disable incoming call notifications?

Asked by SilentStudier92
I'm trying to find a way to stop incoming call notifications entirely. I've enabled Do Not Disturb, silenced all calls, and even turned off phone notifications in my settings. I attempted to block calls from my brother to test it out, but the notification still came through. It's really distracting when I'm trying to study or watch something, and a call interrupts. Is there a foolproof way to make sure I don't get any incoming call notifications?

Check your Do Not Disturb settings again. If your brother is marked as a favorite or if he's calling you multiple times quickly, those calls might still get through. You can adjust those settings under Do Not Disturb > People. Iโ€™ve set mine so that only my favorites or repeated calls can break through, keeping my peace intact.

If all else fails, just consider turning off your cellular data while you study or watch something! Itโ€™s a drastic measure, but it will definitely stop all incoming calls.

To really silence everything, go into your Focus settings (like Do Not Disturb) and make sure both People and Apps are set to "None allowed." Set notification silencing to "Always" and disable "Allow Repeated Calls." This way, you'll ensure no one can disturb you unless you allow them specifically.

Remember, it's still a phone, which means calls are its main function! If the notifications really bother you, maybe try using a different device for watching or studying.

For a complete silence experience, go to Settings > Notifications > Phone. Turn off the Banners so they donโ€™t show up on your Home or Lock Screen, though they will still be in Notification Center. Utilize a Focus mode for deeper silence, and select who can notify you under the Calls section.
