None/Priority Interruptions

[ODog2323]

I don't really get this. Setting interruptions to "none" stops my phone from beeping or vibrating, but I can still see notifications popping up. I thought the point of this was to hide incoming notifications completely?

I don't believe the point is to stop notifications, the point is to stop alerts. Your phone still gets notifications. The only way to stop notifications II believe is on a per-app basis in the settings. I am not aware of any way to stop your phone from getting all notifications globally.

Its to mute them, not hide them completely.

Guess I just misunderstood the reason for it.

So why are folks unhappy that there's no silent mode in stock Android anymore??

Because silent mode still has audible alarm, "none" setting for notifications silences the alarm also. I believe this is the only difference.

Yeah. What the hell were they thinking?
Stupid.
