Sometimes you don’t want to be disturbed by email notifications from the Microsoft Outlook app on your phone, such as when you are in a meeting at work. The sounds and the screen lighting up can be distracting.
You might not want work emails to bug you at weekends when you are supposed to be relaxing and you certainly don’t want to be pestered in the middle of the night by emails that can wait until the morning. A good night’s sleep is essential if you want to be productive the next day.
To stop email notifications on Outlook for Android:
Step 1: Open the Outlook app on your phone and tap the menu button with three dashes in the top left corner to open the sidebar.
Step 2: Press the bell icon at the top.
Step 3: The Do not disturb screen is displayed and you can use the controls to choose when to display or hide email notifications.
Make sure the email account you want to set the do not disturb on is active. You can verify which email account is active by the title in the menu.
Timed
- Until I turn it off is an indefinite do not disturb. All notifications from the Outlook client are silenced until you chose otherwise.
- For one hour silences Outlook for one hour. The time to the right of the selection lets you know when do not disturb will expire.
- Until tomorrow keeps do not disturb in place until 8 am the following day.
Scheduled
- During events allows you to silence Outlook notification during any busy time on your calendar. This can include both appointments and meetings. This is particularly useful if you want to automatically quiet your email during meetings.
- During work hours allows you to silence Outlook notifications during work hours.
- During weekends silences Outlook notifications from Friday 5 pm to Monday 8 am.
The Zz’s superimposed over the email icon also identifies which accounts currently have an active do not disturb in place.
Canceling Do Not Disturb
To cancel or modify a do not disturb click the Do Not Disturb icon (Bell icon). This will bring up a menu where you can either disable or modify the do not disturb by selecting Turn off, or, Adjust Settings respectively.

Read Guide →Now seems about the best time to teach you how to properly clean and sanitize your smartphone, as the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus heightens our awareness of personal hygiene.
Compressed air — most compressed or canned air can be flammable and may cause device issues. It can also leave a damaging solvent coating that can discolor or damage your device.
Water (on devices without IP ratings) — a small amount of water on an antimicrobial cloth will do no damage, but too much water can cause severe issues with your smartphone.
Never dunk your phone, laptop, trackpad or keyboard in a cleaning agent or spray a cleaner or aerosol spray directly onto the product. That just raises the risk you’ll get moisture in openings like the charging port.
The easiest method of cleaning your Android phone and screen is to use an antimicrobial cleaning cloth. You can slightly dampen your cleaning cloth with lukewarm water or with 70 percent isopropyl alcohol and then gently wipe the display, bezels, and rear of your Android phone.
If you have a screen protector installed, you can wipe your display with disinfecting cleaning wipes. Alternatively, you can replace your screen protector regularly. The screen protector will ensure that your display is safe from any solutions that might damage the oleophobic coating or the phone itself.
According to a 2016 study, we touch our phones on average 2,600 times per day. The same study also claims that we pick up our devices 150 times during a 24-hour period.
Because smartphone use has only increased since then, it’s very likely that those figures are now even higher. So because of that, it, in means that our smartphones and tablets are highly prone to serious pathogens such as E.Coli and MRSA without factoring in the recent coronavirus epidemic — that is, if we don’t clean them correctly.
Things to avoid
Alcohol wipes and gels — anything over 70% alcohol will damage your display oleophobic coating.
Things you might want
Antimicrobial cleaning cloth
Screen protector + cleaning wipes
UV sanitizer
Wash your hands

Step 1: Open Twitter on your phone or desktop.
Step 2: Tap on the globe icon and select who can reply to your tweet.
The options are fairly straightforward.
- Everyone -- this is the current default option. For public accounts, it means that everyone will continue to be able to reply. If your Tweets are protected, it means only people who follow you will continue to be able to reply.
- People you follow -- only people who you follow, as well as anyone you mention in the Tweet, will be able to reply.
- Only people you mention -- only people who you mention in the Tweet will be able to reply. That last one can effectively be a “no one can reply” option if you don’t mention anyone in the tweet itself.
Step 3: Once you select the option you want, compose your tweet and tap tweet.
When your Tweet is live, people will see that you’ve limited who can reply to your Tweet.
Restrictions you place on your Tweets will only apply to the ability for others to reply to your Tweet. Others can still engage with your Tweet by, for example, liking or Retweeting it, or voting on a poll you include in your Tweet.
Once you’ve published a Tweet, you cannot later change the restrictions other than by deleting the Tweet. Replies and Retweets of your Tweet will inherit the restrictions you placed on the root Tweet, but Retweets with Comments will not inherit your restrictions.
If the root Tweet is deleted, replies and Retweets will lose any previous restrictions.
If you deactivate your account, any reply restrictions your Tweets currently have will lift, and if you reactivate your account during the reactivation window, all previous reply restrictions will be reapplied. However, during the window when your reply restrictions were lifted, it’s possible that replies that would have otherwise been restricted could have been added to your conversation.
