How to set phone to ring for only specific callers (not everyone in my contacts)

When I’m sleeping I want all calls silenced except for calls from key family members who may call in an emergency

Hey!


To do this, turn on a focus mode.


  1. Go to Settings > Focus. 
  2. Tap a provided Focus option—like Do Not Disturb, Personal, Sleep, or Work—then tap Customize Focus.
  3. Set up your Focus. You can select allowed or silenced notifications from people and apps, connect your Lock Screen or Home Screen, have this Focus turn on automatically, and add Focus filters.


Here, you can customize which contacts/apps can bypass this filter. Learn more here: Use Focus on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


Best of luck,

Bryce
