I use this on vacation or weekends when the people I care about most are right by my side so I don\u2019t need to worry about missing calls<\/a>. That said, you can allow certain calls to ring through on the first try, or someone can call twice in a row to get around Do Not Disturb.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how to make let select people\u2019s messages come through when using Do Not Disturb mode:<\/p>\n

What about phone calls? There\u2019s a separate setting for that:<\/p>\n

If you use an Android, take these steps. Note: Steps vary depending on your phone\u2019s model. You can always try searching your Settings for “Do Not Disturb.”<\/p>\n
