# Critical push notifications and DND overrides

This section contains information on critical push notifications or DND (Do Not Disturb or Sleep modes) overrides for mobile devices

In this article, we will guide you through the process of overriding Do Not Disturb and Sleep modes on mobile devices to ensure that critical notifications are always delivered. For applications handling urgent alerts—such as incident management—bypassing these settings is essential to guarantee timely responses. We will cover platform-specific approaches, including how to configure settings on both iOS and Android devices, ensuring that vital notifications can break through device silences when it matters most.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.ilert.com/mobile-app/mobile-app-notification-settings/critical-push-notifications-and-dnd-overrides.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
