There are a lot of interesting options and features on Apple that can be sometimes a lifesaver thing. Not many iPhone users know about this feature, but there is a way to enable emergency bypass.
When you have the “Do Not Disturb” option enabled, this feature allows your iPhone to ring beside that. It can also allow it to ring when you have the sound on silent or have another option turned on that hides the ringing.
This is a really good feature and it can be really useful sometimes if you are working and don’t want to be disturbed but at the same time, you expect some important call from a family member, doctor, business partner or similar.
So this emergency bypass will allow you to select a particular contact in order to bypass the ring limitations. Keep reading and you will find out How to enable Emergency Bypass.
How to enable Emergency Bypass
Even though it seems like a very complicated thing, it’s actually really easy and simple to do.
First, you need to add a contact to your favorites. Check the picture below.

- When you find which contact you want to add to the list, tap on the “i” icon on the right side of the name,
