    If anything requires urgent attention in the middle of the night you should be calling emergency services and not me.

    Mum be like : “But what if grandma died”, well she will be just as dead tomorrow morning.

    Who tf keeps their phone off dnd at night? The last thing I want in the middle of the night is to be woken up by some email spam.

    That said I have a rule set up which allows calls to go through if they are from my favorites list, just in case they’re dying.

      Same. If it’s an emergency and you’re not on my favorites list then you should really be calling someone else

        There is also an exception for if the same number calls you twice within 15 minutes. That way if a loved one is calling from a different number it will still get through.

      Basically people that complain about getting calls late at night are admitting they aren’t very savvy with their phone. DND call settings are a life saver.

      call settings in do not disturb mode

      Same. All text messages and notifications are silenced, but calls from favorites or calls that call more than once in 15 minutes come through.

      DND is my life, especially as a light sleeper.

      If they’re dying I probably can’t help them anyway. Call an ambulance. Let me sleep.

    Pfft I’m on DND 24/7/365/eternity. I get to it when I get to it. I don’t care to have to look at phone every 30 seconds on everything.

    Android, not sure about iOS as I haven’t used an iPhone in years, easily has the most powerful DND customization. I have a favorites list that makes it so some people can call and text me if it is an emergency. I can allow pass through at certain times and I think I can even pick the apps that I can receive notifications through. I can set text and phone calls as separate things.

    Others should take the time to customize their DND.

    Phone never leaves silent mode. The phone comes out of the box, the switch is put down to silent mode, embrace the orange line.

    This picture is pure anti-antiwork

    I’m a 58 year old man. With my parents dead, there’s only three people on earth that I would get out of bed for and two of them live with me.

      For them, use a cordless doorbell instead. One button on their bedside table is all they need to wake you for help.

    I have all notifications and ringtones turned off at night but whitelist specific numbers to ALWAYS ring regardless of time/silent settings specifically for emergencies.

    D&d at night is the right move, but enable second calls for favourites and favourite your loved ones. Then tell them if it’s late and an emergency, call me twice.

    Nobody else gets through, but you’re reachable in a life or death situation. It’s the only sane solution

    I always have my phone on vibrate only. A year ago, there was a fire in my grandma’s apartment complex and she had to evacuate, so she called me at like midnight asking if she could stay with me.

    The buzzing and the light woke me up, despite the lack of ringtone.
