Energy contacts can ring anyway after 3 calls or something on iOS. I guess Android has the same setting.

imagine being the emergency contact for loved ones and responsible for small children and elderly, and just ghosting them in a clutch because you cant be bothered to configure your notification settings. fuck your life.

At least on Android (I’d assume iOS does it as well), you can set Do Not Disturb (DND) to turn on and off automatically, based on the time. You can also designate certain contacts to be allowed to bypass DND, so the phone will ring normally. I setup DND a long time ago, because I don’t want to be bothered by random shit while I am trying to sleep. However, my job is such that I might reasonably be called at 03:00 and need to roll my arse out of bed and start working. So, the number they call from is set to bypass DND. My elderly mother and brother are both similarly set to bypass. It all works out quite well and if some random marketer figures out my number and calls in the middle of the night, I don’t get woken up to talk about my car’s warranty.

Also Android has an option to allow contacts that call you twice in 15 minutes to get through as well, which they would do anyway in case there is an actual emergency, and someone is really trying to reach you asap.

there’s also a settling somewhere to let a call through if it’s like the second of two in a row
