Galaxy S8 And Galaxy S8 Plus Do Not Disturb Mode

Your Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus comes with a Do Not Disturb mode. By default, when you turn on this mode, it silences all alarms and notifications. If you want to set your Do Not Disturb mode only for select notifications and alarms, you can do that through the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus settings.
