How do I enable 'do not disturb' only for incoming phone calls except for my contacts? iOS treats notifications and phone calls as the same thing so I cannot stop incoming calls from everyone without also stopping notifications and messages too.
After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.
From here, you can select from the following options:
*Everyone: Allows calls from everyone on your contacts list.
*No One: Allows calls from no one.
*Favorites: Allows calls from contacts in your Favorites list.
*Groups: A specific group of contacts.
From the article above:
So you can either (a) make a specific group and add those people in that group. or (b) just favorite the contacts you want to be able to reach you with DND enabled. That's the way I have mine set up. Only my wife, son and father-in-law are favorited so when DND is on, they are the only ones who I get notifications from.
