Do Not Disturb settings not working

Calls and texts are getting through Do Not Disturb even though all my settings are correct. I have followed instructions on this forum and still I get calls at night.

Which settings? What instructions? Without knowing exactly what you've tried, we're bound to tell you things you may already know.

First, make sure that, if you have Apple Intelligence enabled, you have "Intelligent Breakthrough & Silencing" turned off. It can produce unexpected results.

Next, tap "People." On that page, select "Allow notifications from." Add any people you want to be able to contact you even if DND is enabled. In "Allow Calls From," select "Allowed People Only." Make sure "Allow Repeated Calls" is turned off.

Are you using sleep tracking?

I think that you need to make sure that your phone is on silent mode. Hope this helps

Silent Mode and Focus/Do Not Disturb are two different features with somewhat different purposes. Silent mode is only manually enabled and silences pretty much everything. It's not very granular. Focus, on the other hand, can be automated, it can be set to only silence some things. It has a lot of options which can mean it has a steeper learning mode.

Everything except streaming content. Enabling Silent Mode is a good way to stream content without be interrupted by notifications and calls.

And alarms. Don't forget the man at the New York Philharmonic.
