Do Not Disturb is a very valuable feature in iPhones. It permits you to\u00a0focus on whatever task\u00a0you have at hand, and not get distracted by your phone constantly lighting up, and playing notification tones,\u00a0each time you get a message or a call.\u00a0Do Not Disturb can be\u00a0scheduled, or it can be turned on automatically. So, here is how you can utilize Do Not Disturb mode to block calls from unknown callers, and no caller ID numbers:<\/p>\n
- \n
- On your iPhone, go to \u201cSettings -> Do Not Disturb<\/strong>\u201c. Here, flip the switch next to\u201cManual\u201d<\/strong>to\u00a0\u201cOn\u201d.<\/strong>
![\"Settings](\"https:\/\/www.wikitechy.com\/technology\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/settings-do-not-disturb.png\")
<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/p>\n
- \n
- Now, tap on\u00a0\u201cAllow Calls From<\/strong>\u201c. By default, this would probably be set to \u201cFavorites<\/strong>\u201c. Change it to \u201cAll Contacts<\/strong>\u201c.
![\"Allow](\"https:\/\/www.wikitechy.com\/technology\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/mode-manual-allow-calls-from-contacts-1.png\")
<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[ad type=”banner”]\n- \n
- Go back, and under the section that says \u201cSilence<\/strong>\u201c, select \u201cAlways<\/strong>\u201c. This will ensure that you don\u2019t get calls from unknown callers, even if you\u2019re using the phone, and the screen is on.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
![\"Silence](\"https:\/\/www.wikitechy.com\/technology\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/silence-always-1.png\")
<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
That\u2019s it.\u00a0Since you have Do Not Disturb mode on,\u00a0it won’t inform you of calls from unknown callers, and no caller ID numbers. You can now\u00a0get back to working, and not get annoyed by anyone who is not in your contacts list. No more of those annoying spam calls for you! Enjoy!<\/p>\n
Bonus: Repeated Calls<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n
The only drawback of utilizing a workaround such as this one, is that you\u00a0will not get notices for genuine calls that are made from\u00a0a number which is\u00a0not in your contacts list. While that may be okay, it could be a problem if the other person is in an emergency, and wants your help. So, in the Do Not Disturb section, ensure that you turn on \u201cRepeated Calls<\/strong>\u201c.<\/p>\n
![\"repeated](\"https:\/\/www.wikitechy.com\/technology\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/repeated-calls-allowed.png\")
<\/p>\n[ad type=”banner”]\nAll this does, is, if someone calls you from an unknown number, and afterward calls you once more, within three minutes, your iPhone won’t block that call, and will notify you about an incoming call. So, unless spammers again and again call numbers in your area, you can safely turn this on, and only be bothered by unknown callers, who truly do want to converse with you.<\/p>\n
