Preventing calls and notifications, while using my hotspot.

    Hi all, so I’m wondering how can I block calls, messages and notifications from coming through and interrupting me, while using my hotspot on my iPhone?

    Is this possible?

    Thanks in advance.

    If you engage the mute switch on the side, the calls, message and notifications won't make any sound. They'll still come in, but it will be silent. Would that do?

    Other option is to turn on Do Not Disturb: https://support.apple.com/en-ie/HT204321

    Ideally, I would like to prevent them altogether. I am afraid that the call/text/notification with break the hotspot connection. You see I'm having a zoom interview and I really have no other option but to hot spot. I live in a broadband black spot and can't get it. If I had any other option, I'd be doing that.. :o

    Can I still use the internet hotspot with do not disturb on, though?

    Just checked. It seems to be the best option and do what I need. I just need it to work for 30-45 minutes. :D Thank you for the help!!!
