Steps

- Scroll down to the "DO NOT DISTURB WHILE DRIVING" section. You'll find this section near the bottom of the page.
- Tap Activate. It's below the "DO NOT DISTURB WHILE DRIVING" heading.
- Tap Manually. This option is at the bottom of the menu. Selecting it ensures that Do Not Disturb will only activate when manually selected.
- Turn off Do Not Disturb if necessary. If Do Not Disturb is currently on, tap the "Back" button in the top-left corner of the screen, then scroll up and tap the green "Do Not Disturb" switch.
- You can also use Control Center to disable Driving Mode as directed in the first step of this section.
- Open the quick settings menu. Use two fingers to swipe down from the top of the screen. This will prompt a drop-down menu.
- Find the "Driving mode" or "Do not disturb" notification. When your Android enters driving mode, a notification will appear in this bar.
- If you're using a Samsung Galaxy, just tap the colored Do not disturb icon in the drop-down menu to disable driving mode. You may have to confirm this decision.
- Tap the notification. Doing so will open the Settings page for driving mode.
- Tap the colored "On" or "Do not disturb" switch. You'll typically find this near the top of the screen, but each Android model has slightly different options for driving mode. Tapping this switch will disable driving mode for the time being.
- Permanently disable driving mode on stock Android. Unfortunately, disabling driving mode permanently differs from Android to Android; the easiest way to find your driving mode settings is by searching the Settings app:[1]
- Open Settings.
- Tap the search bar or icon , then search for "driving" or "do not disturb".
- Select the setting which pertains to driving mode automatically activating while in a car.
- Turn off the setting.
- Disable driving mode on a Google Android. On a Pixel 2, for example, you'll open Settings, tap Sound, tap Do Not Disturb preferences, tap Driving, and tap DELETE on the "Driving" rule page.
- You may first have to turn off Do Not Disturb before you can delete the "Driving" rule.
- If you haven't set up the "Driving" rule, driving mode shouldn't automatically enable itself on your Pixel.
