Emergency Calls in Silent Mode

Is there a way to choose specific contacts to ring through or make a ping sound for emergency messages or calls from those contacts even when iPhone is in silent mode?

Communicate with a Contact in Silent Mode I put my phone in silent/do not disturb mode while I'm at work and when I sleep. My family frequently sends me texts or calls to say hi during these windows because we're all on different shifting schedules. This is totally fine and I see these non-urgent communications whenever I'm done working / sleeping. However, if there's ever an emergency during a time when I have my phone on silent/do not disturb, I want my family to reach me. It seems the only solution to this is to enable "Emergency Bypass On" for these contacts. However, this would mean I hear all the day-to-day non-emergency communications from these people all the time, which is not helpful. Any suggestions of how to make myself reachable in an emergency when I have my phone on silent/do not disturb mode?

Calls directly going to voicemail on iPhone 13 after two rings Apple iPhone 13: some of my calls are going directly to voicemail. I have my silent mode off sometimes the calls will go to voicemail after two rings how to create an even balance of about four rings going to voicemail. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

The pic below is self-explanatory

Please look at your settings...

Repeated Calls: If someone calls you twice within three minutes, the second call isn't silenced.

Please see the pic below which is self-explanatory
