Question

Do Not Disturb focus has stopped silencing all calls or texts.

Do Not Disturb is no longer silencing call or texts

Turning on Do Not Disturb has suddenly stopped silencing any calls or texts. I haven’t changed any settings, have it all set to not allow calls or texts from anyone, no repeated calls, nothing, but they all still come through. The only thing it blocks is notifications.

Check Focus Settings

Go to Settings → Focus → Do Not Disturb.
Confirm Allowed Notifications → People is empty. If any contacts are listed, remove them.
Under Apps, ensure no apps are allowed if you want complete silence.

Yep, already have it like that, have always had it like that and never had this problem before. But now the calls and texts are coming through even though I have no people or no apps allowed. I have to put the phone on silent now to actually silence it.
