Do Not Disturb Malfunction in IoS 15 version

Allowing two calls in a row from the same person to break through DND has always been an option, so that people can reach you in an emergency. All you have to do is turn that option on or off, as you choose.

In settings, go to Focus > DND > People > Allow calls from > & then choose whether or not you want repeated calls to be silenced.

There is a fatal flaw in the DND function in the updated IoS 15. If you turn on DND, the first call from a number gets disconnected whereas on a second call from the same number, the phone starts ringing as if there was no DND. This happened at 2 am and I had to switch off the ringer. I tried this on another IPhone which has the IoS 14 version and DND works perfectly. Consecutive calls from the same number are silenced which is the way it should work.

With IoS 15, Apple has thrown us back to the dark ages where you have to put the phone on silent before going to sleep - the scheduled DND just does not work. Apple Support should just do a simple experiment by turning the DND on (IoS 15 version) and they will know that there is a flaw. DND is such a basic function now - it's surprising how such a flawed release went through.

There is NO APPLE here in these user to user technical forum.

Um... no. That has ALWAYS been an option for DND.

Check your settings.
