silent calls and text

Not a question just an observation. Even if you have scheduled do not disturb on it silences your calls all day so say you have a schedule of 22:00 and 07:00 it still silences call at other times too.

Hello,

Hmm, these are the standard steps for not receiving notification sounds:

1) Check the silent button above the volume buttons.  Do you see red?  If so, move the slider.

2) Is Do Not Disturb on?  Go to Settings > Do Not Disturb.  Is it turned on?  Check the times.

3) Go to Settings > Notifications > Messages.  It is turned on?

4) Go to Settings > Sound & Haptics.  Change the "Text Tone" to a different sound.  Does it make a sound?

Note: you can send text messages to yourself for testing purposes.

Good luck.
