Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I've used the "do not disturb" feature for my phone so that I get rest at night and am not woken up by texts or phone calls from friends. However, there are some people who would only call me at nighttime if it's an emergency. Is there a way to use the "do not disturb" mode but still have certain contacts be able to call through? Thanks!

Yes, there is. Go to the contact you want to be able to ring through regardless of the DND setting. Tap Edit in the upper right corner. Tap Ringtone. Swipe to the top of the page. Turn Emergency Bypass to "On". If you wish, you can do the same thing for the text tone for that person.
You can also go to Settings>Do Not Disturb>Repeated Calls and set that to own. Then, tell people that, if they get sent to voice mail, to call you back within three minutes. The draw back to this is that robocallers have gotten wise to this. I once had a robo caller call me 41 times in 35 minutes.

Thank you so much! I'll get that done right away.
Post back should you have any questions.
