A great feature included in IOS12, Scheduling Do Not Disturb, has been a fantastic addition to the iPhone for most of us that want to schedule after-hours for our phones but if there is an emergency, we’d like to still be notified. What’s great about the feature is that it allows for those in your favorites list or even those that repeat call will be allowed through. What it doesn’t intuitively do is allow that other form of communication — the text! — through. If you have family or friends that would die before calling, they would be out of luck unless you find this other feature.
Emergency Bypass! Introduced in IOS10, you’ll need to implement this if you want the texts to roll through. It’s not hard to do, but you’ll need to pay attention to do it correctly. The steps are as follows:
- Launch Contacts from your Home screen.
- Tap on the contact you want on Emergency Bypass.
- Tap Edit.
- Tap Ringtone.
- Tap the Emergency Bypass switch. The switch should be green when it’s enabled.
- Tap Done.
- Tap Done again.
Once you’ve done this, you’ll now receive calls and text messages regardless of what state you’ve left your phone in.
