Study Mode

[Adwi]

Study Mode ? During this pandemic time most of the students are taking their classes via virtual. So if a mode like study mode is introduced which will block all calls and messages. During that mode only the apps related to studies will be working. Also it will be great if remote option is enabled i.e parents can enable study mode remotely, which can ensure all things works fine. 

Thanks,

There's a mode you can enable to do exactly that, called Focus mode. It will let you choose apps to block access to and notifications from, as well as blocking calls and messages.

You can find the option in your Quick panel, or in Settings > Digital Wellbeing and parental controls > Focus mode.

You can then use the Work time/Me time presets, or create your own.

Good luck with your studying!

There is also Settings > Notifications > Do Not Disturb, which mutes all calls, alerts and media apart from your selected exceptions.

@lspnash and @AndrewL : Does focus mode enable option to parents enable this mode from their device ?

@Adwi  After looking further into it I have not thus far Seen anything about parents enabling children's focus mode from their own device.   However you can schedule focus mode.    Personally I have no need to use parental controls though.  More here https://techcrunch.com/2019/12/04/androids-focus-mode-exits-beta-adds-new-scheduling-features/     https://www.commonsensemedia.org/blog/how-to-use-googles-family-link-app
