Do not disturb option

Hi i ahve an iphone 4s with up to date IOS. itried the new feature of the IOS 6 " do not disturb" but the funny part is, i created a list of people under favourites in my contact list and turned the do not disturb - On ...so that only those people can contact me when its turned on, i went to notifictions and and turned off schhedule - off, and have set Allow calls from - Favourites, repeated call - off
but it seems like still people can call me despite the option being turned on and not in the list....
any solution please.
thank you

Is your iPhone locked when the calls come through?
As this paragraph from the iPhone User Manual states, the iPhone must be locked for "Do Not Disturb" to be in effect:
Turn off all notifications: Go to Settings and turn on Do Not Disturb. When it’s turned on and iPhone is locked, all notifications and calls are silenced, but alarms will still sound. You can set the following options in Settings > Notifications > Do Not Disturb:
Automatically turn on Do Not Disturb: Set the starting and ending hours for when you don’t want to be disturbed. iPhone turns on Do Not Disturb during these hours each day.
Allow some phone calls during Do Not Disturb: When Do Not Disturb is on, calls are silently sent to voice mail. To allow some callers to ring through, tap Allow Calls From. You can allow calls from your Favorites list or other Contacts groups you define. For information about Favorites, see Chapter 25, Contacts, on page 100.
Allow persistant callers to ring through: Turn on Repeated Calls. If the same caller (based on their Caller ID) calls you twice within three minutes, iPhone will ring.

Text/imessage exception to the Do Not Disturb option?

Can you add a contact/list/group exception to the Do not Disturb option? In practice, is there a way I can have do not disturb enabled, but texts/imessages from my family/girlfriend will still alert like normal?

It's a feature I would really like as well. Submit your feedback directly to Apple using the appropriate link on the Feedback page:

Perhaps if enough people ask.

HT4623 the "Do not Disturb" option started to show the moon always regardless the change of time since 1-1-2013 the only way to avoid this is to turn this option OFF

I am used to scheduale the "Do not disturb" option since i updated to IOS 6.0.1 but in the first day of 2013 i notice =d the moon since is continuing to show on the screen i tried to change the time ans well as the scheduale but still the moon sign showing. turning off this option is the only way to get rid of the moon sign off and to be able to receive call.
any idea why this happening and if anybody else have noticed and if there is a way to get this feature working properly?

In do not disturb option what does repeated calls option mean

I had been facing problem of second Incoming call not received.
But when I went to do not disturn option, I found repeated calls option was enabled.
This says that if enable a second call from the same person within 3 mins will not be silenced.
What does this mean.
Is it related to my problem ...... What should be the status of repeated calls.....
Also explain the silence feature in settings option >> Always and only while Iphone is locked.....
Thanks

Please explain what you mean by "second incoming call not received". Do you mean that if you are on a call and another call comes in to your phone you do not have the option of seeing it or answering it?
This means that when you terminate the call to the Iphone user within say less than 3 mins you get to hear the annoucement that your phone you are trying to reach is out of network coverage area....
And then you try third call it matures....
Thanks

How Secure is my iPhone/ provide automatic re-enable of a phone that has set do not disturb.

There are many articles about how smart phones can be hacked to do things not desired. One I saw discussed recently is that a Smart Phone when turned on
can be send codes to put it in eavesdropping mode where the phone is asking as a transmitter of what is said near it to a phone connection opened by the codes
sent to turn it on.
One workaround suggested in some discussions was to require everyone to remove the battery from their phone so there is no power for eavesdropping. Obviously this won't work on an iPhone since the batteries are not removable. Does the phone provide protection from having eavesdropping instructions from being sent to it? Is there a way to temporarily disable the phone so it won't respond to such attempts? If the phone is fully shut down (hold the button down until the turn off option appears and you slide the slide bar to turn it off. Will it still respond to signals sent to it via the telephone connection or blue tooth link? Is there a simple way to turn off that capability which allows the user to turn it back on easily when in possession of the phone?
There is a feature to disable receiving calls or messages during a period selected in settings where you give the start and stop of the do not disturb function.
However, I find Do Not Disturb sadly lacking. If I go into meeting for theater and am asked to silence my phone Do Not Disturb seems perfect for that need. However the next morning when my coworkers ask why my phone is disabled, I have to admit I forgot to turn it back on. What I really need is an option from the easy settings to disable no longer than 2 hours (length of the meeting, concern, movie, dinner party, etc. then I do not need to remember to turn it back on.
If I set the start and stop time for the do not disturb option for now, if I don't remember to clear it, mu phone will re-enable at the right time but the next day it will go "dark" for the same interval even if I am free. Was this feature ever tested using real people doing real life situations? I found holes in the design and easy ways Apple could fix them. But they keep ignoring my suggestions.
It seems if a feature idea did not come from the design team, the design team does not deign to read and evaluated decent ideas from customers. I have talked with a number of long term iPhone users who would like such a feature. I don't know if the competition is doing anything like it.

This is a user-to-user support forum. A good place for suggestions to Apple is https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

HT5463 Does the alarm clock still work whie in "Do Not Disturb" mode?

I like the idea of the DO NOT DISTURB option, but I want to make sure the Alarm clock works while its turned on since I use it daily to wake up for work!!

Yes

HT5463 I have an iPhone5,iPad 3 & my daughter an iPod Touch 4th generation. We use Do Not Disturb. It turns by itself at 9:30pm & off at 7:00am. This morning, none of them turned off automatically. I manually backed them up to iTunes yesterday. Any though

I have an iPhone5, and an iPad3 and my daughter has an iPod touch 4th generation and her and I have separate accounts. I backed them up to my PC to iTunes last evening as I do every few weeks. We both use the Do Not Disturb option. Quiet hours are from 9:30pm to 7:00am. The 3 devices always turned the Do Not Disturb on and off according to the schedule on their own. As of this morning, the Do Not Disturb did not turn off on any of the devices. I sync them with iCloud either manually or when charging them. The moon icon stayed on all day today and did not follow the schedule. I had to shut it off manually on my phone. Any thoughts. My daughter initially had used her iPod Touch under an Apple account I made with my information. When I got my iPad and then iPhone5 I created a different account for her. Some items of mine went on her iPod Touch yesterday when I backed them up on iTunes on my PC. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

It seems to be a glitch or bug. Its been officially acknowledged and addressed by Apple. There is no resolution other than waiting for a few days. The Kb article by Apple states it will fix itself on January 7.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4510
Symptoms
After January 1st, 2013, Do Not Disturb mode stays on past its scheduled end time.
Resolution
Do Not Disturb scheduling feature will resume normal functionality after January 7, 2013. Before this date, you should manually turn the Do Not Disturb feature on or off.
To turn off the scheduling feature, tap Settings > Notifications > Do Not Disturb and switch Scheduled to Off.

HT5463 Why is there not an option to allow texts from the same group of allowed callers in do not disturb mode? Seems like a no-brainer!

Do Not Disturb and Notifications
Push notifications appear in Notification Center and alert you to new information, even when the
associated app isn’t running. Notifications vary by app, but may include text or sound alerts, and
a numbered badge on the app icon on the Home screen.
Turn off all notifications: Go to Settings and turn on Do Not Disturb. When it’s turned on and
iPhone is locked, all notifications and calls are silenced, but alarms will still sound. You can set the
following options in Settings > Notifications > Do Not Disturb:
• Automatically turn on Do Not Disturb: Set the starting and ending hours for when you don’t
want to be disturbed. iPhone turns on Do Not Disturb during these hours each day.
• Allow some phone calls during Do Not Disturb: When Do Not Disturb is on, calls are silently sent
to voice mail. To allow some callers to ring through, tap Allow Calls From. You can allow calls
from your Favorites list or other Contacts groups you define. For information about Favorites,
see Chapter 25, Contacts, on page 100.
• Allow persistant callers to ring through: Turn on Repeated Calls. If the same caller (based on
their Caller ID) calls you twice within three minutes, iPhone will ring.
Turn an app’s notifications on or off: Go to Settings > Notifications. Tap an item in the list, then
turn notifications on or off for that item. Apps that have notifications turned off appear in the Not in Notification centre

HT5463 Is there a way to schedule do not disturb to have different options for weekend vs weekday?

Is there a way to schedule the do not disturb to have different schedules for weekend vs weekday?

I checked my iPad and I could find no way to distinquish between week and weekend scheduled privacy.

I no longer recieve notifications of missed calls when 'Do not disturb' is on

I use 'Do Not Disturb' on my iPhone 5 very often. In the past, if someone called me while DND was activated, the call would show up in my list of 'Missed Calls' and I would get a notification of it. Since the most recent software update (iOS 8.2) this does not happen anymore. I have no idea whether or not someone called me during the time when DND is active, unless they leave a voicemail (in which case I do get a notification of new VM). Is this a bug, or was this changed on purpose? (I can't think of a reason why people would prefer this change, so I assume it is a bug, but....)
Thanks for any insight you may have.

Text alerts never have come through when DND is on. It's not an option and never has been. Calls from your Favorites are allowed through but that the only option in settings

I have a frustrating problem with my iPhone 5 post ios8 installation. The ring tone won't sound when phone is locked/switched off, although the vibration does work. I think it has something to do with "do not disturb"

Hi, I have a frustrating problem that seems to have occurred post iOS 8 installation. When my iphone5 is switched off the ring tone fails to sound i only get the vibration. If i am using my phone and a have an incoming call then the ring tone works as normal. I think it has something to do with "do not disturb" ... i see from the menu in "do not disturb" that under the heading "silence" there are two options "always" and "only when the phone is locked" This does not seem to make sense as i have to choose one or the other!
If anybody can help advise me on this problem i would be very grateful.
Thanks

Hello Mogulman46,
So what that means is when you have Do Not Disturb turned on, you may have an alert depending on the setting and how you are using your iPhone. So if it is set to Always, then that means that no matter what, your iPhone will not be notified. If it set to Only while the iPhone is locked, then that means that you will not get notification when your iPhone is locked but you will get notifications if your iPhone is being used. Also keep in mind the settings All Calls From can be set to certain contacts like Favorites, Everyone or no one. If you are using Do Not Disturb and you do not need it, then turn it off.
Use Do Not Disturb on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
