Apple acknowledges iOS 6 Do Not Disturb bug, claims normal functionality to resume after Jan 7
Apple has acknowledged the iOS 6 Do Not Disturb bug that was reported by some users on New Year's Eve. It also claimed that the service will start functioning without any bugs after January 7.

As reported earlier iOS 6's 'Do Not Disturb' feature, which basically allows a user to silent all calls, messages and notifications, reportedly went kaput for many users on New Year's Eve. Unsuspecting iOS 6 users found the scheduling of DND to be completely off track. A few of them found DND running on the phone without being switched by the user, while it wouldn't shut off for others.

Apple's support article confirmed that iPhone, iPad and iPod touch were all impacted by the issue, which all but confirms that it is a core iOS 6, not limited to a single device.

Apple also suggested users should manually turn notifications off and on as a workaround until 'normal service' is resumed post January 7.

Symptoms
After January 1st, 2013, Do Not Disturb mode stays on past its scheduled end time.
