If you would like to allow certain people to call, FaceTime, or message you when you have enabled Do Not Disturb (DND) mode, activate your iPhone’s Emergency Bypass option for those people. Let’s explore how to do just that.
This is for the iPhone
When you enable Emergency Bypass for a specific contact, they can reach out to you even while you are on DND mode. You can enable this feature for phone and FaceTime calls and text messages separately.
Enable Emergency Bypass for Phone and FaceTime Calls
To allow people to get through your iPhone’s Do Not Disturb (DND) mode, first, launch the Contacts app on your phone.
Next, in the Contacts app, find and select the person you want to bypass. On the contact page, in the top right-hand corner, tap Edit. Refer to the below image:
Now, on the Edit screen, scroll down and choose Ringtone. See the below image:
Next, on the Ringtone page, at the top, toggle to ON the Emergency Bypass option. Then, at the top right-hand corner, tap Done. See the following image:
Note!, To disable the feature, turn off the “Emergency Bypass” option.
Now, your selected person will now be able to make regular, and FaceTime calls with you even when you have chosen not to be disturbed.
Enable Emergency Bypass for Text Messages on iPhone
If you want certain people to send you text messages when you have Do Not Disturb (DND) turned on, first, launch the Contacts app on your iPhone. Then find and tap your contact.
Next, on the Contact page, in the top right-hand corner, tap Edit. Refer to the below image:
Now, on the Edit page, scroll down and tap Text Tone. See the below image:

Now, your iPhone will now allow text messages from your selected contact whether you have or have not enabled Do Not Disturb (DND) mode.
