I keep my phone silent ALWAYS and also on do not disturb at night. But when my favorites call during the night I need my phone to ring in case of emergency. What’s the magic combination of settings?
iPhone XS, iOS 14
If you go onto setting and the onto Do not disturb, you can scroll down and select what groups of people you allow calls from. You can also select the setting right at the bottom where if someone calls you twice within three minutes the call will go though. When you phone is on silent your phone will only vibrate when someone calls you even if you have them in you select group of people that you allow calls from. I would recommend selecting the people you want to have calls from but not having your phone on silent, that way when someone calls you if they are in your select group of people the call will go though and it will use your ringtone.
Thanks! That’s what I suspected...I want to receive notifications during the day but vibrate only/without noise. Is there no way to do that and have the phone ring at night ICE without involving the silent button.
Unfortunately I believe not. You will probably have to turn your phone of silent at night and then in the morning turn it back onto silent.
