How to enable silent notifications

  2. Choose Notifications under “Your account”
  3. Configure these options:
Silent notification settings
Send notifications while I’m off:
  • On: Receive silent notifications during Do Not Disturb or outside business hours
  • Off: No notifications when unavailable
Include message preview:
  • On: See message content in notifications
  • Off: Only see “New Message” or “New Voicemail”
If you’ve muted a specific number, it overrides these settings - you won’t receive any notifications for that number.

FAQs

Do Not Disturb affects all your Quo numbers and sends calls to voicemail. Muting is number-specific and blocks all notifications for that number only. You can use both features together for maximum control.
Quo’s silent notifications respect your device’s system Do Not Disturb settings. If your device’s Do Not Disturb is on, you may not receive Quo notifications even with silent notifications enabled in the app.
Your Do Not Disturb status isn’t directly visible to teammates, but they may notice if shared calls aren’t being answered by you. Consider setting a custom status to communicate your availability.
