Status and other availability features

Your status works alongside other Quo availability features:
  • Do Not Disturb: Status remains visible even when DND is active
  • Business hours: Status can indicate availability outside normal hours
  • Muted numbers: Status is independent of phone number muting
Combine status messages with Do Not Disturb for complete availability management. For example, set your status to “In meeting until 3pm” and activate Do Not Disturb to ensure uninterrupted focus.
