While trying to learn how to work with Apple’s Focus preference, I’ve met one of my many confusions about my Apple devices and software; what does Do Not Disturb mean, control and not control?

I’d like to fully understand what the silent switch on a iPhone does. I’m on a XS running iOS 15.4 if that matters.

Thanks for any referrals to Apple sites or answers. I appreciate.
