“How to Enable Emergency Bypass on iPhone”
If you’d like to allow certain people to call, FaceTime, or message you when you’ve enabled Do Not Disturb mode, activate your iPhone’s Emergency Bypass option for those people. We’ll show you how to do just that.
When you enable Emergency Bypass for a specific contact, they can reach out to you even while you’re on DND mode. You can enable this feature for phone and FaceTime calls and text messages separately.

To allow people to get through your iPhone’s DND mode, first, launch the Contacts app on your phone.
In the Contacts app, find and select the person you want to whitelist. On the contact page, in the top-right corner, tap “Edit.”
On the edit screen, scroll a bit down and choose “Ringtone.”
On the “Ringtone” page, at the top, toggle on the “Emergency Bypass” option. Then, at the top-right corner, tap “Done.”
