Do not Disturb on my iPhone is not working properly

Go to the Focus you're using. Tap on "People". At the bottom of the screen, you'll see "Allow Repeated Calls". Do you have that turned on? If so, if the same number calls twice within three minutes, the second call will ring through.

Thanks, I’ve done that now & realised I’d allowed notifications from Messenger, WhatsApp & Messages

Great detective work!

Sorry for the hijack, nothing showing as allowed apart from favorites allowed to call, have updated to latest iOS update, and calls I have got blocked, showing unblock caller, are still getting through, how the devil do I stop them permanently, it’s cost me a nights work due to being woken up multiple times today.

a blocked caller should not even show up, let alone bypass do not disturb as well, and ring at full volume.

I’ve switched off “allow repeated calls” and calls are still getting through despite DND being on and phone locked. Extremely irritating when you have an appointment. I will have to rely on airplane mode or switch off phone completely.

Anyone recommend a fix?

It's still there in iOS 17.1.1 on my phone. Open the Focus you want to edit. Tap on "People". It's at the bottom of that next page.

I can't think why a blocked caller would get through. Unless someone is spoofing the number so that it appears to come from one number but is actually coming from a different one.
