Who tf keeps their phone off dnd at night? The last thing I want in the middle of the night is to be woken up by some email spam.
That said I have a rule set up which allows calls to go through if they are from my favorites list, just in case they're dying.
Same. If it's an emergency and you're not on my favorites list then you should really be calling someone else
@LimitedWard @B4tid0 Ive worked in IT for decades. DND after 10p CST is the only way I get sleep and if they are dying, there sure af nothing I could do about it, naked at 2:30am and just woken up.
Basically people that complain about getting calls late at night are admitting they aren't very savvy with their phone. DND call settings are a life saver.
Same. All text messages and notifications are silenced, but calls from favorites or calls that call more than once in 15 minutes come through.
DND is my life, especially as a light sleeper.
If they're dying I probably can't help them anyway. Call an ambulance. Let me sleep.
Same.
I'm also active on WhatsApp though - the only way I could get that bastard to honour DnD was to turn off all its notifications, and use Alertify to play a sound for certain silent notifications.
This is the only answer and you figure it out quick if you're a light sleeper. If I get a call in the middle of the night, I know that it's important, full stop. The rest can burn.
Same, not that I would wake up anyway. THE SLEEP IS DEEP WITH THIS ONE.
Wrong is person
Phone never leaves silent mode. The phone comes out of the box, the switch is put down to silent mode, embrace the orange line.
This picture is pure anti-antiwork
They might as well just epoxy mine to the off position at the factory.
If it's a real emergency you should be calling 911, not me.
Phones have sleep schedules. Set it up and it will automatically shut off blue light 2 hours before bed and then shut off notifications and ring tones at bedtime. You can even set it up to allow certain people through, or allow repeat callers to ring, in case something really hits the fan and you're really needed.
I have silent hours/weekends set specifically for my work chats and apps. If it's friends or family, I don't mind, but miss me with the overtime shit
If anything requires urgent attention in the middle of the night you should be calling emergency services and not me.
Mum be like : "But what if grandma died", well she will be just as dead tomorrow morning.
Pfft I'm on DND 24/7/365/eternity. I get to it when I get to it. I don't care to have to look at phone every 30 seconds on everything.
I always have my phone on vibrate only. A year ago, there was a fire in my grandma's apartment complex and she had to evacuate, so she called me at like midnight asking if she could stay with me.
The buzzing and the light woke me up, despite the lack of ringtone.
D&d at night is the right move, but enable second calls for favourites and favourite your loved ones. Then tell them if it's late and an emergency, call me twice.
Nobody else gets through, but you're reachable in a life or death situation. It's the only sane solution
I'm not gonna wake up out of a dead sleep because someone's calling off work.
Fuck that. I put my phone on airplane mode when I sleep.
“only thing wakin me up is a plane crash“
I turn my phone off every night.
You WHAT
I have all notifications and ringtones turned off at night but whitelist specific numbers to ALWAYS ring regardless of time/silent settings specifically for emergencies.
I started actually turning it off a few months ago. It felt.... weird at first. Now.... Ahhh, so nice.
I'm a 58 year old man. With my parents dead, there's only three people on earth that I would get out of bed for and two of them live with me.
For them, use a cordless doorbell instead. One button on their bedside table is all they need to wake you for help.
Do not Disturb with my closest people set as exceptions so it will only ring if they call.
Additionally your can set the number of times they have to call before it even goes through , at least on Android
Oh, this is useful.
I have my phone on silent the whole day. And sleep mode during the night
Android, not sure about iOS as I haven't used an iPhone in years, easily has the most powerful DND customization. I have a favorites list that makes it so some people can call and text me if it is an emergency. I can allow pass through at certain times and I think I can even pick the apps that I can receive notifications through. I can set text and phone calls as separate things.
Others should take the time to customize their DND.
Protip: just disconnect from the internet. That way you can still get emergency calls.
On Android for sure but I'm sure on iOS too you can set specific phone numbers to specifically ring your through silent/dnd. I have that set up for my elderly father.
Can do that on Android too
My phone is silent all the time, and on airplane mode at night. How evil am I?
