THERE’S a button on most iPhones that if pressed, could make you miss important alerts from your Ring Doorbell.
It’s best to have your notifications enabled on your Ring device – otherwise the security system is rendered nearly useless when you’re not home.

Ring owners will receive push notifications by default.
This is when the alert sits on your phone screen until you interact with it to make it go away.
However, the “Do Not Disturb” button on your iPhone stops these alerts coming through.
It’s placed in the Control Centre on your iPhone for easy access.
All you need to do to enable it is touch and hold the Focus button, then tap Do Not Disturb.
This will stop all push notifications from coming through.
It’s peaceful, and might be necessary for a time.
But you could accidentally miss important alerts from your Ring home security system.

If you don’t want to be disturbed at a certain time, you can set a schedule and change other Do Not Disturb features to help you concentrate.
Simply head to Settings > Focus > Do Not Disturb.
It’s important to note that if you activate notifications on your phone, they will not be automatically activated on your tablet.
Therefore, you have to manually change your notification settings for each device connected to Ring.
To make sure your alerts are switched on, open the Ring app and go to your Device Settings.
Turn the on the toggles for both Ring Alerts and Motion Alerts and you’ll be good to go.
