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?

HT5463 Will I see the texts/imessages after I turn do not disturb off?

Are texts/imessages blocked completely when DND is on? Or am I just not alerted with sound?
When I turn off the feature will text alerts then show?

Do Not Disturb only stops the Alert sound and vibration. A call or text will still come through, you're simply not disturbed by it. Hence Do Not Disturb
Hope that helps clear things up

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 I cannot switch off the Do not disturb function.

I turned on the 'do not disturb ' and now the toggle switch will not slide to the off position. I allowed calls from 'everyone' but text alerts do not work. The moon icon is showing. How do I turn it off. I would have thought the switch was for doing that!

First of all,
Do a reset..it solves most of these kind of issues..
In ur home screen , double tap the homebutton and delete all the apps in multi tasking and then hold ur power button and homebutton simultaneously for about ten seconds or so until you see an apple logo. do not worry ..you will not loose any data...
After you have done it..try and operate the "do not disturb button".
If it is still not working then it might propably be because of some software glitch.....i recomend that you update ur mobile to the latest firmware 6.1.3..since it solves many small issues like these..

Is the Do Not Disturb mode working correctly in 2013?

I use the Do Not Disturb function between the hours of 11:30pm and 7:30am. Starting the new year, the do not disturb mode is always on regardless of scheduled hours. I've tried powering the phone off and on. I tried changing schedules to see if it changed anything. It still is on all the time unless I manually turn it off. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

I noticed the same issue. So far I desactivated it... It seems like a lot of issues are happening on iOS in this beginning of 2013... So far I was not able to find a fix.
UPDATE: An "auto fix" seems to be on its way: http://arstechnica.com/apple/2013/01/ask-ars-why-will-apples-do-not-disturb-bug- fix-itself-next-week/ So let's be patient.

Chris thanks for your reply, if none of the Do Not Disturb settings are switched on - then am I right that this setting will have no effect. I.e. I want my phone to ring at all times, so have turned off all of the do not disturb settings

Can't find the 'Do Not Disturb"

I cannot find the 'Do Not Disturb' manual button in my Notification Center. I've reset the mac and fiddled a little with the Notification Center settings, but no luck. Any suggestions?

There isn't a visible scroll bar. On your trackpad just move the cursor into the Notification Center and then use 2 fingers to pull down.

HT5463 Questions about the "Do Not Disturb" feature not addressed in documentation

Hello,
I have some questions about the "Do Not Disturb" feature which are not quite addressed by the documentation.
When DND is enabled, will badge app icons still be displayed?
When DND is turned off, either manually or automatically, will Notification Center banners be available for alerts which occurred while DND was on, or are they lost forever?
I guess the main questions is, is DND like an answering machine, which stores up your notifications until you are ready to deal with them? Or is it a return of the "turn off all notifications" feature that existed in iOS 4, albeit in a more evolved form?
Thanks,
- Steve

If you have a schedule set, but activate it manually, it will de-activate at the scheduled time anyway. It behaves perfectly on my 4S, my wife's 4, and both of our iPads.
If you have an iPhone 5, it could be tied to the known issue with automatic time set going Wonky on LTE networks. If that's the case, try disabling the automatic time set and see if it behaves itself.
