All iPhone owners urged to make important setting change – it could be vital in emergencies

ANY iPhone user who loves a bit of peace and quiet will be familiar with the “do not disturb” option.

It’s perfect if you’re in meetings or going to sleep.

But there’s always a worry you could miss a really important call such as an emergency.

For example, your partner’s mobile or maybe the number for a relative’s retirement home.

Fortunately, there’s a way to allow selected people’s calls to go through.

You can also select apps you want to exempt as well so their notifications will continue to go through, such as WhatsApp or Facebook.

How to set Do Not Disturb exemptions on iPhone

To set it up, start by going to Settings.

Scroll down to Focus.

Tap Do Not Disturb.

Go to People, followed by Add.

Tick the names you want to allow and finish with Done.

You can do the same with apps by going back a step and selecting Apps.

It’s also possible to apply similar exemptions for other situations, such as sleep and work by going back another step.
