What's your policy on the earliest you can send texts? Specifically if you don't know whether the person's phone is in Do Not Disturb. Or do we assume everyone uses that setting on their devices?

@lexfri If they don’t use DND that’s their fault, not yours.

@caseyliss @lexfri honestly given the state of iOS even with my phone set to defaults I can’t predict whose texts will ping me after hours and which ones won’t.

@mathowie @lexfri tbh this is also a great point. Erin constantly has texts break through her DND.

I’m sure it’s for a reason, but I’ll be damned if I know what that reason is.

Could it be…?

((NB. Moon icon is flipped horizontally) all in purple text above iMessage entry field:)

“🌙 _______ has notifications silenced.”

(Person enters and sends text anyway. Gray button with purple text appears:)

“Notify Anyway.”

(Tap and get an animation of dinging.)

🤷‍♂️

@caseyliss @mathowie @lexfri VIP or explicit exemption inside settings for that DND sub-mode?

@caseyliss @mathowie @lexfri Check in Settings > Focus > [affected focus mode] and see if Intelligent Breakthrough & Silencing is enabled.

@caseyliss @mathowie @lexfri

You can whitelist people in your contacts to ‘break through’ anytime, which many people do with family.

To be honest, if I’m asleep, driving or doing the dishes, I’m not likely to notice that either. I will sleep right through a middle of my nap text.

@caseyliss @mathowie @lexfri I have the opposite problem. My wife is emergency contact, VIP, and cleared to break through both of the focus modes I use, but I haven’t been alerted to a text from her after 9pm in years.

I cannot for the life of me figure out why.

@jimmylittle the address or number she has as her default to iMessage from?
Show threadJimmyMar 8

@lexfri I figured it out (I think)! After years of messing with Focus Mode and Notification settings to no avail, I opened my Contacts app. She was in there twice, both with the same phone number and name.

I merged the contacts, so maybe that will fix it. 🤞
