Focus - Do Not Disturb

With the newest IOS update, how do you set it so that if someone calls 2 times in a row the second call will come through — like the old version allowed.

Do not disturb question How do I get “do not disturb” to perform like it did in previous software versions? I want do not disturb to silence all notifications & calls but allow a 2nd call within 3 minutes to go thru. I don’t like or understand this updated feature.

Do not disturb in Focus not working properly How can I get Do Not Disturb to work properly. When I have my iPhone on DND, calls still come through…this is very disruptive and I have the most up-to-date os.

iPhone with focus allow call only from Contacts will allow any calls I want to use a Focus on my phone that is limiting the calls to only be allowed from Contacts. When I have the focus on, I still get calls from any random number that comes through to the phone. The only way to limit non contact is to turn on the Silence Unknow Calls, however I would like the Focus to replace that function. It seems that this should work but any phone number that calls will get through. Is this broken and Apple is not fixing it? Thanks!

The good thing is that Allow Repeated Calls is set to ON by default.

You can find this setting by opening Settings ➡️ Focus ➡️ Do Not Disturb ➡️ People ➡️ Allow Repeated Calls: Ensure that this switch is set to ON.

My experience with that setting is that all calls and texts come in immediately from the allowed people

You are correct about the "Allowed People" and their calls/texts coming through immediately.

The Allow Repeated Calls is for those who are NOT in your Allowed list.

Can you post the screen shot of where you are NOT seeing the Allow Repeated Calls option? Thanks.
