The new Android 10 is available already for select devices; my Google Pixel 3a received the update some hours ago and it went through without issues. One of the features that Google improved in Android 10 is Do Not Disturb.

I have configured my Android devices to receive call and message notifications from select Android contacts only to reduce noise. The option remains but Android 10 introduces preferences to customize Do Not Disturb behavior even further by enabling customizations for individual schedules.

Long-tap on the Do Not Disturb toggle to open the Settings on Android 10. The main page lists options to configure Do Not Disturb; you may set up rules for calls and messages, and allow or disallow certain events and actions such as the playing of media sounds from firing in that mode.

A tap on schedules displays custom presets, e.g. Sleeping or Event. You can create your own schedules with a tap on the option or configure the existing ones instead.

The feature is useful to Android users who use different Do Not Disturb schedules. Here is an example: you use one Do Not Disturb schedule at night to make sure that your sleep is not interrupted by someone's Facebook post, and another for when you are at work.

While you may prefer that some settings are shared across both Do Not Disturb schedules, you may want to use custom settings for others. You could switch the allow calls option from starred or none at all to contacts to make sure you get your boss' calls, or enable alarms, reminders, and events in the Work rules.
