Choose to receive some calls when your Apple phone is on silent
CROSSWORD
The Mendip Mindbender
FOR the most part, putting your phone on Do Not Disturb or Silent mode is very useful overnight and when at meetings etc. But getting emergency calls or calls from a close family member might be important on occasions. You can choose to get emergency calls or calls from your Favourite contacts if you wish. Or choose if someone rings you twice, then your phone will ring. Just bear in mind that it could ring at an inopportune moment!
Apple iOS Assuming you have your contacts added, you need to add those contacts to your ‘Favourites’ • Go to the ‘Phone’ app • Go to the ‘Contacts’ section • Select the contact(s) that you want to allow to ring even when your phone is on silent. • Select ‘Add to Favourites’ from bottom menu Once you have your contacts add to Favourites, you now need to edit your ‘Do not disturb’ settings • Open the ‘Settings’ on your phone • Select ‘Set Do Not Disturb’ • Under the ‘Allow Calls From’ section, select ‘Favourites’. Now when you go to bed at night, you need to make sure you enable ‘Do not disturb’. 1. Swipe up from the bottom of the phone. 2. Select the Moon icon – Your phone will tell you that ‘Do not disturb” On’. You can also set a time for when you want Do Not Disturb to be active. It’s a good idea to run a test to make sure Favourites can ring you, but anyone who isn’t a favourite stays on silent. Calls or messages (regardless of whether they are marked as Favourites) will get through to you, whether your Do Not Disturb is active or not. You can also set Emergency Bypass on individual numbers – just go to your Contacts and select Edit and slide the Emergency Bypass option. There is also an option for Repeated Calls to ring if the same person tries twice. Again, with all these options, bear in mind it might ring at an inopportune moment.
