I really hope this includes a setting on Do Not Disturb to always silence calls/texts from numbers not in my addressbook along with the ability to schedule it for further silencing during sleeping hours.
- sorahn 8y agoThis is my most wanted feature. Similarly, if we could just send all unrecognized numbers to voicemail that would be awesome.
- mullingitover 8y agoThis, a thousand times. Bonus points for an option to skip voicemail for numbers not in my address book and simply disconnect them.
- ectospheno 8y agoThat would be a nice feature. Since it didn't exist, my default ringtone is a silent tone. I then give entries in my contact list a regular ringtone.
- ianferrel 8y agoDoes that mean that you have to change the ringtone every time you add a contact? Did you have to go manually change it for every contact you have? Or is there a way to change it en masse?
- ectospheno 8y agoIf you are a social person then yes, my method isn't convenient. You do have to manage everything by hand. I use my phone almost entirely for data and messaging though. Calls are rare.
- enraged_camel 8y agoThis is pretty damn clever. Thanks. :)
- vinay427 8y agoThis is a pretty common feature on most Android phone platforms. I'm surprised Apple has yet to adopt it.
- discaler 8y agoThis already exists for calls on iOS. It is under Do not Disturb in settings. Allow calls from Everyone, Favourites or contacts.
- ianferrel 8y agoI want the following features: * Always, no notification of calls or texts from people not in my contacts. * Scheduled at night, when I'm asleep, no notification of calls or texts from anyone, unless they call twice in a row (emergency calls). As far as I know, I can't set up Do Not Disturb to do this.
- redindian75 8y agoIt does no: (2), but thrice in a row. You can setup so only if someone calls you thrice within 3 mins, it will ring
- latexr 8y ago> only if someone calls you thrice within 3 mins, it will ring It’s twice. Under Settings → Do Not Disturb → Repeated Calls: > A second call from the same person within three minutes will not be silenced.
- gergles 8y agoTurning on DND blocks all your other notifications too. You get very little control over how much the phone can bother you, and this is still my biggest complaint about iOS. Even if you have a silent ringtone set for someone, an incoming phone call still takes over the full screen of whatever you're doing to go "HEY SOMEBODY IS CALLING YOU!!!!" and frankly, I don't care. I'd rather just have an unobtrusive banner like every other notification.
