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
Well I guess there’s no point keeping the batsignal then 🤷🏻♂️
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.
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.
If it's a real emergency you should be calling 911, not me.
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
How do you put your phone on dungeons n dragons?
I turn my phone off every night.
You WHAT
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.
Fuck that. I put my phone on airplane mode when I sleep.
“only thing wakin me up is a plane crash“
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
There's a dungeons and dragons setting for your phone?
Caller need to roll a natural 20 to get through
Is this possible on android?
Absolutely, it's been a core feature for years. This is what part of the config looks like on mine
Yes it's how mine is set up
Thats great to know, thank you!
I started actually turning it off a few months ago. It felt.... weird at first. Now.... Ahhh, so nice.
Do not Disturb with my closest people set as exceptions so it will only ring if they call.
Additionally your can set the number of times they have to call before it even goes through , at least on Android
Oh, this is useful.
I'm not gonna wake up out of a dead sleep because someone's calling off work.
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.
Phones have sleep schedules. Set it up and it will automatically shut off blue light 2 hours before bed and then shut off notifications and ring tones at bedtime. You can even set it up to allow certain people through, or allow repeat callers to ring, in case something really hits the fan and you're really needed.
I have extra scheduling for my work-apps. On weekdays at 16 they all go into do not disturb mode. During the weekends they get turned off completely. My time is my time
I take that a step further and refuse to install any work oriented apps on my phone. My phone, my prerogative.
Protip: just disconnect from the internet. That way you can still get emergency calls.
