Android 15 QPR1 Beta1 Enhances Do Not Disturb Mode with Customizable System Settings

AndroidAuthority reported that Google has released an update to Android 15 QPR1 Beta1 for Pixel devices, which enhances the Do Not Disturb mode.

After upgrading to Android 15 QPR1 Beta1 and enabling Do Not Disturb mode, users will find new options such as grayscale mode, disabling Always-on Display, dimming the wallpaper, and enabling dark mode. Previous versions of Do Not Disturb mode only allowed users to change settings related to notifications and calls.

The most notable change in this update is Google's plan to replace the "Schedule" option in Do Not Disturb mode with "Priority Mode." Users will need to create custom "Priority Modes" and can utilize more customization options, including customizing icons and names, activating triggers, notification settings, and more.

For example, users could create a "Sleep Mode" Priority Mode, set to activate from 10 PM to 7 AM, enable Dark Mode, disable Always-on Display, and only allow calls and messages from family and friends.

This change means users will have more flexibility in controlling the system behavior while Do Not Disturb mode is enabled, allowing them to better meet the needs of different scenarios. For instance, users can enable a "Work Mode" during meetings to block all notifications while only allowing calls and messages related to work.

Google's new Priority Mode allows users to customize Do Not Disturb mode more extensively, making it more comprehensive and practical. This will enable users to better manage notifications and avoid distractions.

Here is a summary of the new features:

- Grayscale Mode: This mode displays the screen in grayscale to reduce eye strain.

- Disable Always-on Display: This option allows you to disable the Always-on Display feature to save battery life.

- Dim Wallpaper: This option allows you to dim the wallpaper to reduce screen brightness and eye strain.

- Enable Dark Mode: This option enables Dark Mode to reduce eye strain during nighttime use.

- Customize Icons and Names: Users can customize the icons and names of Priority Modes based on their needs.

- Activate Triggers: Users can set activation conditions for Priority Modes, such as time, location, or applications.

- Notification Settings: Users can configure notification behavior within Priority Mode, such as which applications are allowed to send notifications.

It is important to note that this feature is currently only available on Pixel devices running Android 15 QPR1 Beta1. Google may expand this feature to more devices in the future.
