EXPLAINED Selectively allow calls

Block all calls

If you really want a bit of peace and quiet with no interruptions – and no exceptions – tap the No One option to silence all incoming calls.

Calls from favourites

You can add frequently used Contacts to your Favourites list in Contacts for easy access. If you’d like calls from all of those contacts to get through to you even if Do Not Disturb is active, tap Favourites.

Contact groups

If you’d like a specific group of contacts, such as your family or colleagues, to be able to reach you, tap that group’s name in the list below; groups can be created and managed on a Mac or at iCloud.com.

The Everyone option

To stop notification banners and alerts and number badges on app icons from distracting you, but still receive calls, choose Everyone.
