I recently setup a focus profile on my iPhone that only lets calls ring through from knowns contacts. There is going to be an adjustment period as I discover people and companies (such as doctors/hospitals) that I want to allow calls from and add them to the whitelist. But otherwise, it has been really nice to cut down on all of the interruptions.

I will sometimes toggle it off if I’m expecting a call from an unknown number, but it will also pull numbers it sees in texts and email and known. I manually set this up several years ago, to only ring for contract in my address book. It was annoying, but worked. At the same time, I submitted the feature request to Apple and it came to iOS about a year later. I found my calls have gone down dramatically since using it. I used to get 3-4 calls per day. Now, even if I have the feature toggled off, I might get a couple calls in a month. Once the number appears inactive, I think it drops off a lot of lists.
- bonestamp2 2y agoThank you for drawing attention to this. Whenever I've scrolled past that option in the settings, I incorrectly assumed how it works and it's actually much more useful than I realized. I've adjusted my settings accordingly and I'll give it a chance. Thanks again.
