If you are like most people, charges your phone while you sleep. Instead of manually switching your android mobile to silent mode every night, we'll show you how to automatically mute it while it's charging.
Silent mode on most Android devices does not block alarms, which is good if you mute your phone while sleeping. Despite this, we can do better than that. With the mode “Do not bother”, can mute your phone while charging and keep getting important notifications.
The Google Clock application includes a set of tools in the tab “Bedtime”. If you have a relatively new Google Pixel phone or Android device, you most likely have additional options to sleep with “Digital well-being”.

First, download the Google Clock app from Play Store if you don't have it yet.
Open the app “Watch” and then touch “Bedtime” in the lower toolbar.
Next, select “Start”.
It will ask you to create a snooze alarm. Touch the minus icons (-) and more (+) to select a time. Touch the days of the week you want to use the alarm.
There are some additional options on this page if you are creating an alarm, but for the purposes of this guide, we only need to select a time to wake up. Touch “Skip” once you are done with this step.
The Clock app will now ask you to set a bedtime. As before, use minus icons (-) and more (+) to set the time and then touch the days of the week you want this to occur.
Now, if your device has Digital Wellbeing, you will see “Bedtime mode” on this screen. This is where we will silence your phone while charging. Select option.
Touch “While charging at bedtime”, where you will see the wake up and go to bed times that we chose in the previous steps.
Below that, you will want to activate “Do not bother”. This will ensure that notifications are silenced while your phone is connected for the selected time window..
That's all we need now. Touch the back arrow icon in the upper left to return to the previous screen.
Select the button “Ready” to end.
To take full advantage of this feature, you'll want to make sure you have the mode set “Do not bother”. Unfortunately, this procedure differs greatly depending on the device, but we have a guide for Google Pixel phones.
With all these settings working together, your phone will be muted at night when you charge it, but important notifications will still be received. That's a win-win situation.
