    Parameters

    completionHandler

  • Makes a current user snooze/receive remote push notification in specific duration.

    If you use SendbirdChat setDoNotDisturb(enable:startHour:startMin:endHour:endMin:timezone:completionHandler:) method as well, both methods are applied together. Keep in mind snoozing(or stop snoozing) is applied from this method only once, not repeatedly. If you want to snooze(do not disturb) repeatedly, use SendbirdChat setDoNotDisturb(enable:startHour:startMin:endHour:endMin:timezone:completionHandler:).
