Anybody can text you even when your phone is set to Do Not Disturb. The notification will just be silent.


But yes there is. Go to your contacts, choose a person you would like to bypass the Do Not Disturb. Select them and hit 'Edit' at the top right of your screen, scroll to 'Text Tone' and turn Emergency Bypass on and hit 'Done'. Once you have done this, that persons' text will still make noise even if your phone is on Do Not Disturb.


The same applies for if you want their phone call to come through, but instead of hitting 'Text Tone' select 'Ringtone'
