Block certain calls during work hours and at weekends

Is there a way to block certain calls/phone numbers/groups at specific times (before 8 am and after 4 pm and at weekends? Perhaps by using a 3rd party app?

My phone is both for private and business use, and I would like to block all business-related calls when I don't actually work. :-)

The Do Not Disturb function does not enable me to do exactly that.

iPhone 7

@Allen: Thanks for your reply. Unfortunate this doesn't help me. I can't set Do Not Disturb to different time-intervals during weekdays and weekends... Only one interval for every day of the week. I know I can always set DND manually but that is not what I want. :-)

Do you have another tip maybe?

Hello Botebote,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities! I understand that you would like to know how to block certain call during certain times; I’d like to help.


Do Not Disturd on your iPhone provides this functionality. If you don't want to be disturbed at a certain time, you can set a schedule. You can also adjust the Allow Calls From funtion to allow calls from everyone, no one, your favorites, or specific contact groups stored on your device or iCloud. Here's a resource that can help:


Use Do Not Disturb on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch


Best Regards.
