How to receive notification from vehicle alarm, home alarm, or cameras while Do Not Disturb is Activated

I would like to get Important Notifications from my Vehicle Alarms, Home Alarm, or Security cameras when my Do Nor Disturb is turned on to block nuisance calls or emails from waking me up. I don’t see any way to allow this in my IOS settings. This is something Apple should look into since vehicles produced in 2020 have remote start and notify us if alarm is triggered. Would be nice if my Apple Device would Notify me.


Anyone know of a solution or third party app that will allow me to silence spam calls, email notifications, but allow me to be notified if someone breaks into my vehicle or if house alarms and cameras go off? Thanks and look forward to suggestions.

iPhone 11 Pro

Hi Spin2Wyn,


Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities. We understand you're wanting to allow certain apps to still alert you when Do Not Disturb is enabled, and we'd be happy to provide you with the best information


To get started, we do want to let you know that it would not be possible to allow certain apps to bypass Do Not Disturb. If you have Do Not Disturb enabled, you will only get phone calls from the contacts you've specified in 'Allow Calls From' or contacts you have set as emergency contacts. Check out this link for more details: Use Do Not Disturb on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch


We'd also like to invite you to leave feedback at this link here: Product Feedback - Apple


Hope this helps.


Best Regards.
