My texts are waking me up constantly no matter what I do please help!

My texts from certain people wake me up all the freaking time lol. My phone is on silent and DND, and they aren't on my favorites list. I think I might have set something up a long time ago in the deep dark of my phone settings that I can't find no matter where I look, (I've gone through all of them on the setting screen meticulously) or by googling; everyone just sends me back to "how to master and" and Im good with that, this problem transcends that.


To make it worse it somehow synched whatever was done to my iPad, so now even though that's silenced and on and, it ALSO rings and beeps with texts so I hear them both. I'm an inch away from locking them in another room with blankets over them. Please help me! Thank you!

You may have set certain contacts to alert you regardless of the DND settings.


Open one of the contacts that's causing a problem. Under Text Tone, do you see "Emergency Bypass On"? if so, tap Edit in the upper right corner. Tap Text Alert. Scroll all the way to the top if you're not there already. Turn off Emergency Bypass.


Or, just use the hardware mute switch on the side of the phone just over the volume buttons.
