How to set up and enable Do Not Disturb mode on iPhone with iOS 11

IPhone (iOS) has a native feature that blocks mobile notifications. The Do Not Disturb feature is useful for avoiding distractions from social networking while at work or preventing the phone from ringing or vibrating at night, disrupting your sleep. In iOS 11, the system is also able to detect when the user is automatically switching notifications on and off.
