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.

@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?

@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. 🤞
