Disable Do Not Disturb While Driving Mode on iPhone
Do Not Disturb While Driving Mode is a safety feature on iPhone, designed to prevent you from being distracted by Calls, Message Alerts and Notifications, while you are driving.
iPhone can automatically switch to Do Not Disturb While Driving Mode, while you are on a bus, train or travelling as a passenger in a Car.
In such cases, you won’t be able to receive Calls, Message Alerts and other types of Notifications on your iPhone, until you get Off from the vehicle in which you are travelling.
The other option is manually disable Do Not Disturb While Driving Mode on your device, whenever you are travelling as a passenger.

On the next screen, tap on Driving and this will disable DND While Driving Mode on your iPhone.
While both these methods can immediately disable Do Not Disturb While Driving Mode, they cannot prevent your device from automatically switching to DND While Driving Mode.
2. Prevent iPhone from Automatically Switching to DND While Driving Mode

To prevent this from happening, go to Settings > Focus > While Driving.
On the next screen, select the Manually option.
After this, iPhone won’t be able to automatically switch to DND While Driving Mode. This means, you will have to manually enable DND While Driving Mode on your device, whenever you are driving.
