In iOS 15, when someone has set you on Do Not Disturb (DND), it can be a bit tricky to tell if they have enabled this feature specifically for you. However, there are a few indicators that you can look for to determine if someone has put you on DND.
1. No Notifications: One of the primary signs that someone has put you on Do Not Disturb is that you won’t receive any notifications from them. Normally, when someone sends you a message or calls you, you would receive a notification on your lock screen or home screen. But if you are on their DND list, no notifications will pop up.
2. Silent Calls: If you try calling the person who might have put you on DND, your call will go through as usual. However, on their end, your call will be silent. They won’t hear their ringtone or receive any indication that you are calling. Instead, your call will go directly to their voicemail.
3. No Replies or Responses: If you have been communicating with someone regularly, but suddenly they stop replying or responding to your messages or calls, it could be an indication that they have put you on DND. Since DND silences notifications, they might not even be aware that you are trying to reach out.
4. DND Indicator: In some cases, if you send a message to someone who has put you on DND, you might see a small crescent moon icon next to your message. This indicates that the recipient has enabled Do Not Disturb mode on their device. However, it’s important to note that this indicator is not always consistent, and you may not always see it.
5. Check with the Person: If you suspect that someone has put you on DND and want to confirm it, the best way is to have an open and honest conversation with them. Reach out to them through another means, such as in person or via a different messaging platform, and ask if they have enabled DND or if there are any issues with communication.
It’s worth mentioning that while these indicators can help you determine if someone has put you on DND, they are not foolproof. It’s possible that someone may have other reasons for not responding or sending notifications. Therefore, it’s always best to communicate directly with the person and address any concerns or questions you may have.
Determining if someone has put you on Do Not Disturb on iOS 15 can be challenging, but by observing the absence of notifications, silent calls, lack of responses, or potentially seeing a DND indicator, you can make an educated guess. However, it’s always important to have open communication with the person involved to fully understand the situation.
