If your OnePlus 13 keeps turning on Do Not Disturb (DND) automatically, you’re not alone. This issue can cause you to miss calls, messages, and important app notifications. The feature is designed to silence alerts during specific times or activities, but if it activates on its own, it’s likely due to a setting or automation that needs to be adjusted.
Here’s how to identify what’s causing it and how to stop it from happening again.
Why Your OnePlus 13 Turns On Do Not Disturb Automatically
- Scheduled DND times or routines are enabled.
- A third-party app is controlling your sound settings.
- Focus Mode or Bedtime Mode is linked to DND.
- System glitch after a software update.
- Google Assistant routines or automation triggers are turning it on.
Check for Active Schedules.
Your OnePlus 13 allows you to schedule DND to turn on automatically at specific times, such as when you sleep or attend meetings.
- Open Settings, and then tap Notifications.
- Tap Do Not Disturb, and then check the schedules section for any active time periods.
If you see a schedule that doesn’t match your routine, delete it or toggle it off.
Turn Off Bedtime Mode.
Bedtime Mode in Digital Wellbeing often works together with Do Not Disturb. When it activates, it can automatically enable DND even if you didn’t turn it on manually.
- Open Settings, and then tap Digital Wellbeing and parental controls.
- Tap Bedtime mode, and then turn it off if it’s active.
Once disabled, check if DND stays off when your phone is idle or charging at night.
Review Third-Party Apps.
Some apps that manage calls or notifications can override system preferences. Apps like automation tools, phone cleaners, or profile managers may trigger DND unintentionally.
- Open Settings, and then tap Apps.
- Tap Special app access, and then tap Do Not Disturb access.
If you see apps you don’t fully trust, revoke their DND permission.
Disable Google Assistant Routines.
Google Assistant can automatically turn on DND when it detects certain conditions, like when you say “Good night” or start driving.
- Open the Google Assistant app, and then tap your profile picture.
- Tap Routines, and then review each one for any DND-related actions.
Delete or edit routines that include “Turn on Do Not Disturb.”
Update or Restart Your Device.
Sometimes a simple update or restart can clear bugs causing DND to misbehave. OnePlus often fixes these minor glitches in later firmware versions.
- Open Settings, and then tap System.
- Tap System update, and then tap Check for updates.
If an update is available, install it and restart your phone.
Reset All Settings.
If the problem continues, resetting all settings will return your preferences to default without deleting personal data.
- Open Settings, and then tap System.
- Tap Reset options, and then tap Reset all settings.
After the reset, recheck your notification preferences to ensure DND doesn’t turn on automatically again.
Having full control over Do Not Disturb helps you stay connected without interruptions happening at the wrong times. Once you correct these settings, your OnePlus 13 will behave exactly how you want it to.
FAQs
Why does my OnePlus 13 automatically silence calls?

Can an app turn on Do Not Disturb without permission?
Only if it has been granted special access. You can review and revoke this permission under “Do Not Disturb access” in your phone’s settings.
