The notifications that we receive on the mobile with the calls included, always comes at the worst moment, just when we are concentrated working or busy with something important, the sound of the mobile deconcentrates us. To prevent this from happening to us, we can use one of the new features that have been implemented in all mobiles that use the most widespread system and that allows us to silence our Android by turning it upside down , without having to do anything else.
After being implemented in various mobiles and customization layers such as Huawei EMUI, Samsung One UI and even Motorola mobiles, now we can silence the mobile just by turning it without depending on a customization layer or a specific smartphone model . Although we can think that this novelty is designed for Android 11, the truth is that it is available to anyone, you just have to follow our steps.
Activate the option to mute it face down
To be able to start using this useful function that allows us, for example, to go to sleep without worrying about annoying notifications, we just have to enter the Google Phone app. From there we will be able to do everything necessary. For those who have a Google Pixel, Xiaomi, Nokia or Android One mobile several, they will not have to do anything because this app is included as standard. All the others will have to download the Google Phone app from the Google Play Store , which will give way to this option.
- Once installed, we access it and grant it all the permissions that it requests.
- Then, we will touch on the three points in the upper right.
- We chose the Settings option.
- Then we select the Advanced option and inside we choose Silence when turning .
- An animation will show us how it works and we can activate it with a simple button.
This is how it works and you can customize it
Once we have activated the option we would not have to do anything else, just turn the mobile upside down to silence it and thus avoid being disturbed. The first time we do it, we will see when we turn it face up again how a notification has appeared that allows us to adapt the silence, which in fact in Android is known as do not disturb mode.
From the notification we will be able to go to the options in this way and choose how it works every time we turn the mobile on a table or surface. We can also do this from Settings> Sound> Do not disturb. From here we can choose that some contacts if they can bother us or some specific apps.
