So you can no longer set it to allow calls from your contacts without clicking on every single contact?

Under PHONE CALLS, Allow Calls From "Contacts Only" but I'm still getting calls from scammers.

I wonder if it's because when I block someone, their number is put in my contacts. So the only way I can block calls from strangers or scammers is to individually select *every* *single* *person* and *business* I'm willing to get a phone call from.

Do these steps ONCE:


  • Tap Settings
  • Tap Focus
  • Tap Do Not Disturb
  • Tap People
  • Tap Allow Notifications From
  • If anyone is listed who should not call you when DND is on delete them; if you don’t want any calls from anyone, any time, delete all people
  • Tap the dropdown next to Allow Calls From and choose Allowed People Only
  • Optionally, tap on Apps, then Allow Notifications From and don’t add any apps.


All of the above is a one-time setup. After that, turn DND on or off with the Control Center button. You can optionally set one or more schedules by going to Settings/Focus/Do Not Disturb/Set a Schedule.
