When you set your phone to Do Not Disturb, all the notifications and phone calls are silenced, which can be particularly helpful in a movie theater. You can, however, enable specific settings to allow phone calls from certain contacts so you'll hear their calls. This How.com.vn will show you how to allow calls in Do Not Disturb mode on iPhone with iOS 13.
Steps
Allowing Calls From Specific People
Open Settings. You'll find this grey gear icon on one of your Home screens.
Tap Do Not Disturb. You'll find this in the second grouping under the menu item "Notifications."
Tap Allow Calls From. You'll be prompted to pick a group from which you want to allow incoming calls. For example, you can have a "Favorites" group in your contacts.[1]- You can also tap the switch next to "Repeated Calls" to allow the call to ring through if the same caller calls a second time within three minutes of the first call.[2]
Tap a group from which to allow incoming calls. When DND is active, the contacts in this group will be able to ring through.Advertisement
