At night I use the "do not disturb" feature so not to be awakened during the night. It has always worked perfectly for me for years. Last night I was awakened with a message tone at 3:45 AM. Since it woke me, I checked. It was a spam (actually porn) message. I deleted it immediately, as I always do during the day. Any idea how this one slipped through? Iphone XS - 14.7.1 Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply. I had already tried that. I just wondered if a spammer from somewhere had figured out a way to bypass. Hasn't happened again.
