How to allow all calls except my blocklist on iPhone?

iPhone 14, latest iOS.


  • Is this possible within iOS's features?
    • example: I have potential new clients calling in frequently. i want to block most of my friends/family or at least the ones that interrupt me the most but only during my "focus hours".


  • If iOS out of the box won't do this -- Then... do you have any knowledge of an app that for sure will do this?!


NOTE: replying with an app is not an endorsement/recommendation. This post is legal-advice-free; i hope. :-)

The built-in Focus mode(s) can do what you are looking for. Open Settings ➡️ Focus ➡️ Do Not Disturb (Or pick another Focus or create a new one) ➡️ Tap on People ➡️ Select Silence Notifications From ➡️ Use the + symbol to add the folks that you want to silence. Scroll Down and set a Schedule.
