# Selectively Silencing Notifications on your Mobile Device

## Instructions for silencing notifications on your Apple and Android device to provide digital wellbeing

The construction industry is not a 9 to 5 business. Many contractors looking to build their business do so after the workday has concluded. We find that the most eager and well-qualified contractors applying to projects will take advantage of the call-and-text feature on ToolBelt. This is what allows you to fill your job sites faster. 

If you do not wish to receive calls or texts from your mobile device, regardless of the program or app, during certain hours from certain audiences, both Apple and Android have developed a *do not disturb* or *digital wellbeing* features that allow you selectively silence your mobile device. 

### Apple Support

### [Use Do Not Disturb with Focus on your iPhone or iPad](https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT204321) Android Help

### [Manage how you spend time on your Android phone with Digital Wellbeing](https://support.google.com/android/answer/9346420?hl=en)

 

Be sure that you aren't restricting applicant responses too much. You don't want the quality applicants to be hired by the other contractors willing to take their calls and texts.
