In spite of my being determined never to buy a smartphone, sustained pressure and threats of retribution from my nine year old Granddaughter - a feisty young Lady who scares the proverbial out of me and who thought that I was ignoring her because I didn't have FaceTime or WhatsApp during Shielding Lockdown - has forced me to buy an iPhone SE 2020 256GB running under iOS13.5.1.
However, I am having trouble getting Do Not Disturb to work whilst allowing calls from my Favourites to get through.
The problem, as far as I can see in my profound ignorance , is in the toggle for Silence, which is either to silence the phone Always which stops all calls including Favourites, or While iPhone is Locked which stops all calls including Favourites whilst - you've guessed it - the iPhone is locked. This seems to override Allow Calls From Favourites and I cannot find a setting or whatever which will either disable the Silence setting or silence all calls except from Favourites when Do Not Disturb is manually enabled or timed.
I want to allow Favourites to call when Do Not Disturb is enabled as they are immediate family members who would only make emergency calls "out of hours"
Can anyone help me to resolve this?
Ta ever so muchly in advance.
