When Do Not Disturb is active, you won&#39;t see any notifications that arrive. If your iPad is muted, notifications will still appear, but alert sounds won&#39;t play. Why do notifications still show on an iPad when it&#39;s on Do Not Disturb?

Up until iPadOS 15, Do Not Disturb only worked when your iPad was locked; that is, when the screen was off. If you turned the feature on and continued to use your tablet, alerts would still appear.
