How to Stop Notifications While Watching Videos on iPhone

Get rid of popup notifications when watching Netflix and YouTube on your iPhone.

Frequent notifications can be annoying while watching videos and movies on your iPhone or iPad. What if you could simply stop notifications when using apps like YouTube and Netflix? Well, you can use the Do Not Disturb mode in iOS to temporarily disable notifications from all apps. Doing so will let you enjoy YouTube videos and binge-watch a series on Netflix without interruption.

That said, enabling DND mode to stop notification banners from popping up on screen isn’t the most feasible. That’s because you have to manually turn on Do Not Disturb before opening a streaming app and then turn it off as well.

What if you can automatically silence notifications while watching videos on your iPhone?

In iOS 15 and iPadOS 15, the revamped DND mode offers the ability to turn on Do Not Disturb automatically for certain apps. What’s interesting is that Do Not Disturb turns off automatically once you exit an app. Meanwhile, those on iOS 14 or earlier can use Shortcuts Automation to get the job done.

Now let’s see how you can disable notifications while watching YouTube or Netflix on iOS 15.

How to stop notifications while watching YouTube on iPhone

Follow the steps below to mute notifications while watching YouTube videos in iOS 15 on iPhone or iPad.

  1. Make sure you’re running iOS 15 beta or later.
  2. Go to Settings > Focus > Do Not Disturb. new do not disturb in iOS 15

That’s it. Now open the YouTube app and a popup will appear at the top of the screen, stating that Do Not Disturb is On. The Do Not Disturb mode will turn off itself as you close the YouTube app.
