Quiet time policies for iOS/iPadOS and Android apps

The global quiet time settings allow you to create policies to schedule quiet time for your end users. These settings automatically mute Microsoft Outlook email and Teams notifications on iOS/iPadOS and Android platforms. These policies can be used to limit end user notifications received after work hours.

Quiet time policy types

There are three quiet time policy types available. The following table describes each policy type.

Policy Type	Description
Date Range	Select this option to automatically mute Microsoft Outlook email and Teams notifications on iOS/iPadOS and Android platforms during the specified range.
Days of the week	Select this option to automatically mute Microsoft Outlook email and Teams notifications on iOS/iPadOS and Android platforms during certain hours or all day on selected days of the week.
Non-working time	Select this option to automatically mute Microsoft Teams notifications on iOS/iPadOS and Android platforms when the managed account is in non-working time. Note: This setting must only be configured if the tenant has been integrated with the Working Time API. For more information on integrating with the Working Time API, see Limit access to Microsoft Teams when frontline workers are off shift. Configuring this setting without integrating with the Working Time API could result in accounts missing Teams app notifications due to missing working time status for the managed account.
