How will this work?
Suppose if you put your device/smartphone on ‘Do Not Disturb Mode’, whenever you turn off ‘Do Not Disturb Mode’, your WhatsApp call log will categorize missed calls due to it. Calls missed due to the feature will have the text ‘Silence by Do Not Disturb’ just below the call time.
This feature is useful as the user will be able to know when a call is missed due to Do Not Disturb mode.
