Why is my phone ringing while in sleep mode and ringer is switched off?

Under Focus>Sleep>People I checked "Silence Notifications From" and have "Allow Calls from Silenced People toggled off. Yet, I'm still get calls waking me up in the middle of the night. Why?

Hi tau_ataina,


If you go to Settings > Focus > Sleep > People, make sure you have Allow Repeated Calls off as well.


By default someone calling twice within three minutes would be able to call through.

Hello tau_ataina,


Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!


If you go in to Settings > Focus > Sleep > People, do you have all the people listed in there that you want to have silenced? The "Silence Notifications From" setting will only apply to people listed on that screen.


This article can provide some additional information about that: Use Focus on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


Cheers!
