If calls didn’t go through but text messages went through and shows delivered, it means that the recipient phone is on do not disturb or focus mode.
However, this differs from android phone to iphone as I noticed that they way do not disturb mode works on android is very much different on iphone.
To explain more on how do you know if someone put you on do not disturb, I will categorize it into android phone and iPhone.
Let’s proceed to that.
Do not disturb on iPhone
On iphone, if do not disturb mode is enabled calls won’t go through but both sms text messages and imessages will get delivered though they will be silenced by default.
If the iPhone has an active voicemail, all calls will be redirected straight to the voicemail.
If there’s no voicemail enabled on the iPhone, what the caller will see will be user busy.
However, this is only if the caller called only once. If the caller happens to call back once again after one or two times, the call will go through.
How do you know if someone put you on do not disturb on iphone;
- If the first call never went through while the second and third call went through, then it is likely the iPhone is on do not disturb mode.
- If calls doesn’t go through but text messages says delivered, then the iPhone is on do not disturb mode.
These are the things that shows that someone put you on do not disturb or probably the recipient iphone is on do not disturb mode.
Do not disturb mode on android
On android, it is quite difficult to know if someone is on do not disturb because both calls and text messages will go through but they will be silenced.
However, if you happen to call someone or send a text message which was delivered but you didn’t get any reply and the person didn’t pickup it’s call, it may be that the person’s android phone is on do not disturb mode.
How do you know if someone blocked you or do not disturb?
If someone blocked you, calls and text messages won’t go through but if the person’s phone is on do not disturb mode, persistent calls and text messages will go through.
If someone blocks you on it’s android phone, both calls and text messages will never go through instead you will be redirected to voicemail or the call will cut off immediately you dial the phone number.
On iphone, If someone blocked your number both calls and text messages will never go through. However, it person’s iphone is on do not disturb mode, first time call will never go through but second time calls will go through and text messages will be delivered.
Does iPhone have Do Not Disturb for texts?

The notifications are for people which are calls and text messages from your contacts or any phone number, and apps installed on your iPhone.

Most times a caller will never know if a recipient phone is on do not disturb mode especially for android user’s. A caller may find out if the recipient is using an iPhone as calls will not go through but text messages will indeed go through and gets delivered.
You shouldn’t be bothered if someone finds out that you added it’s cell phone number to do not disturb mode cause there’s a strong reason for that, and you telling you that most times people can never tell if their recipient phone is on do not disturb mode.

On iPhone, if the person happens to send a text message whilst your iPhone is do not disturb mode, the sent text message will go through as DND does not block text messages but it will be silenced.
For calls, the person’s call will be redirected straight to voicemail as DND block calls. However, if the person calls back within a space of three minutes, the call will go through.
On android, do not disturb mode will only silence calls and text messages as it doesn’t block them compared to iPhone.
