Why do I still get messages flashing at the top if I have the moon on?

[Bobby Corwen]

I set it to Do Not Disturb mode, and yet it still flashes on the screen. Im trying to Airplay my screen to a stream and it gets in the way. Isn't it the same thing as "notifications?"

Im confused.

Do not disturb silences notification sounds, but it doesn't turn off the visual notifications.

In Settings under Do Not Disturb, choose "Silence: Always" instead of only when locked. That seems to work for me.

As far as I recall (and have experienced) it turns off some aspects of notifications as well--lock screen won't turn on for lock screen notifications (you still get the notifications on the lock screen), and banner and alert notifications won't appear when unlocked (you still get notifications on in notification center and still get the app badges).

In Settings under Do Not Disturb, choose "Silence: Always" instead of only when locked. That seems to work for me.

Yeah, that's likely what's behind what's mentioned in the OP.
