Do not disturb - find my phone

Former Member over 4 years ago

Hi, I have a Google Pixel 5. When I use "find my phone" on my VivoActive 3, if "do not disturb" is turned on (on the phone), the phone will not make any noise.

Is there any way to exempt the Garmin app from the "do not disturb" so I can find it even when do not disturb is turned on on my phone? (Alternatively, is there any way the VA3 can turn off "dot not disturb" on my phone?

Thanks in advance for any assistance anyone may have to offer

Update: I thought I had it, but not quite.

I found out how to exempt the Garmin "Connect" app from the "do not disturb" provisions on the Pixel (Settings, Sound and vibration, Do Not Disturb, "What can interrupt do not disturb", "Apps".

Unfortunately, while this allows the Connect app to make a single "ping" noise on the phone (when I use "find my phone" and "Do Not Disturb" is turned on, on the phone), for some reason it doesn't make the full loud noise that it makes when "Do Not Disturb" is *not* turned on.
