Override vibrate to ring through for Favorites?

I always keep my iPhone on vibrate. But I would like my Favorite contacts’ calls to ring through, so that if there’s an emergency while I’m asleep, the sound will wake me up. Is this possible?

Thank you! Sharing for anyone else who’s reading:


Pull up the individual contact > Tap edit > Tap Ringtone > At the top there’s a toggle for “Emergency Bypass”, switch this to on for anyone you want to ring through, regardless of your vibrate and do not disturb settings. Repeat for each individual you want to be able to reach you.
