### Answer by Hitesh Vohra

- The circle with a horizontal line through the middle is a new Android icon that indicates that I**nterruption Mode** has been enabled. When you enable Interruption Mode and see a circle with a line across it, it signifies the Galaxy S7's settings are set to 'None.'
- Do Not Disturb allows you to silence your phone. Sound can be muted, vibrations can be stopped, and visual disturbances can be blocked with this mode. You have complete control over what you accept and what you block.
- Alarms are always treated as top-of-the-line disruptions.
