Do Not Disturb... Reject calls instead of Silent !?!?!

This has to be one of the most deceiving property of the Do not Disturb feature. The feature does not let the phone call ring in the background, it abruptly cuts the call on the first ring. This leads to people thinking that I am actively rejecting their calls, which is NOT the case.

Very disappointed with how this feature works.

As per https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT204321, With Do Not Disturb, you can silence calls, alerts, and notifications that you get while your device is locked.

Once again, Do Not Disturb should just SILENCE the calls, Not Reject the calls as it is doing now. - Thats Why it is a BUG

yes, it rejects them (busy tone), that's why i don't use it. it makes the caller think that i'm on the phone at 6 in the morning if he calls.

it's a word game, you won't hears calls so they are silenced...in your point of view. it's stupid, i know.

My carrier has entered into an arrangement with apple.

Assuming that AT&T in US also does these "arrangements" you talk off, I don't see a line anywhere that says Do not Disturb is a "supported" feature.

There's no case to prove. Either your carrier has entered into an arrangement with Apple or they haven't.

See here:

Wireless carrier support and features for iPhone in Asia-Pacific - Apple Support

Don't worry abot the title. You can link to all part sof the world from there.

Are you specifying which callers (Favourites) you do not want to be silenced?

I want to use "Do Not Disturb" and allow call just from my Favorites...

but when I activate this feature iPhone reject all call (except my favorites) and send busy tone and that person think that I reject him/her or I sent him/her to my black list!

If you have voicemail enabled, the call should be routed to voicemail.

You may also want to start letting your friends and colleagues know that you will not be answering the phone 24 hours a day and that they shouldn't be insulted if you don't answer.

Its is not possible 😀 but you can get calls even indo not disturb mode by selecting ' only when Iphone is locked' from the bottom of the do not disturb settings.

this brings your call when your iphone is unlocked

Apple should answer this question!!!!!

Why Why Why????

Reject!!!!!!

It is a big lie

This is a user-to-user forum. Apple doesn't answer here. Set up your voice mail.

It requires proper carrier support. I'd bet you're not using a supported carrier.

Then talk to your carrier. It works exactly as advertised if you're using a supported carrier.

What do mean by a "supported carrier" ? Could you give me some supporting documents from apple that I can give to my carrier to prove my case ?

I recently moved from the Android operating system to the iOS ecosystem. The equivalent feature on Android works perfectly as advertised on the same carrier. This makes me cautious in continuing my adoption of the Apple ecosystem.

Hi Guys,

Please report this issue as "Bug Report" at https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

Thanks
