Focus mode - block contacts but receive calls/sms from unknown due to deliveries etc

Time sensitive doesn't work here because how would whatever decides something is time sensitive know that a random call is the delivery driver asking for directions? Or that the SMS is from someone saying the door buzzer didn't work?


If I'm expecting a delivery (which let's be honest, most of us are given work from home) I can't use focus mode because of this, so I still get notifications from friends and fam all day.


Is there an option or setting I'm missing somewhere? Thanks!

Please check the following settings...


  • Silence: Choose to silence calls and notifications always or only when the device is locked.
  • Allow Calls From: Allow calls from everyone, no one, your favorites, or specific contact groups stored on your device or iCloud.
  • Repeated Calls: If someone calls you twice within three minutes, the second call isn't silenced.
