The Android Pie/One UI update for Galaxy devices brings some useful granularity to theExercise non disturbfeature. On Oreo and previous Android versions, one tin can enablePractise non disturbway to mute alarms, calls, messages, and other sound notifications, merely there is no way to mute media volume.

So in one case Practise non disturbis enabled, yous would accept to plough it off to be able to hear audio in videos and other media on the device. It'southward a neat option to ensure your phone doesn't accidentally make a sound during your belatedly-dark sessions of scrolling through your Facebook and Instagram feeds, andDo non disturbis overall more than customizable on 1 UI.

To customizePractise non disturb,you tin open up the Settings app, become into theNotificationssection, and so tap thePractice not disturboption (yeah,Do not disturbis no longer located in the Sounds and vibration menu). In theExercise not disturbcard, go into theAllow exceptionssection to observe toggles for alarms, media, and affect sounds, in add-on to the usual settings that let you select whether yous want to hear calls, messages and other notifications. Y'all can encounter the GIF animation in a higher place for a visual guide.
