I also use do not disturb mode all the time, so that only texts and calls from my family get through.

The Android P beta has changed the way do not disturb works by default, though. Now it doesn't show the notifications at all. Previously, on Oreo, my phone wouldn't vibrate or ring but I could still swipe down from the top and see my notifications.

Now, on P, nothing shows up in the notification tray until you turn do not disturb off, and then you will get a million notifications all at once.

Personally, I like the old model better. I missed a few text messages because I didn't know they weren't being shown anymore. I like being able to glance at the notifications when I want without having to toggle do not disturb off.

Luckily, you can switch back to the old behavior by going to Sound -> DO Not Disturb -> Block Visual Disturbances -> Hide from notification list.
