iOS 6 users who use Apple's scheduled 'Do Not Disturb'
feature may find that their iPhone, iPad or iPod touch hasn't automatically
disabled the feature on New Year's morning. The issue was reported on
Whirlpool forums as well as our own MacRumors forums. The 'Do Not Disturb'
feature silences calls, alerts and notifications when it is enabled.
Users may optionally
schedule 'Do Not Disturb' to activate between specific hours. This allows you
to automatically disable calls and notifications while you sleep.
It's this scheduling
feature that appears to be misbehaving on New Year's Day. MacRumors reader
Spacesamurai posted about his experience:I am in Japan so it is 2013, and I am
finding that my iOS devices (iPhone 4 and iPad 2) are showing 'Do Not Disturb'
even though it is outside of the time I set for them. Not sure if this is
related to the new year.
Reloading the devices does not help and the software is
up-to-date.Spacesamurai's experience has been echoed by others. Apple has had
other bugs in the past related to New Year's day. In years past, Apple has had
issues with alarms not going off into the new year. Fortunately, the 'Do Not
Disturb' feature does not disable alarms set with Apple's built-in Clock app.
