You can still allow Favourites and with the new and expanded options for the different focus modes you can also specifically allow certain contacts. When you adjust the Do Not Disturb focus, you have the following headings/sections:
Allowed Notifications Under this heading you can add people and apps, e.g. if you add your son you would get notifications from him, this would include calls, messages etc. Also, in the People section you now find the option to allow calls from Favourites and repeated calls, just swipe until you see "Also Allow" and then after that "Calls from, Favourites button", tap on this and you get the following choices: Everyone Noone Favourites All Contacts Below that is the "Repeated Calls" option which you can turn on or off, the explanation is "A second call from the same person within 3 minutes will not be silenced". With respects to allowing apps you would get notifications from whichever app you add to the list of allowed apps, e.g. if you had an alarm system you might want to allow the app for your alarm system to get through any of the focus modes. You can also decide to allow or not allow notifications which are marked as time sensitive. If you swipe right again there is actually a description for this and it says: Allow calls and notifications from people, apps and those marked as time sensitive if this focus is on. The next heading is "Options" and here you can turn on whether you want people to get a message that you have focus turned on which is called "Focus Status" You can also set options for what happens on the home screen and lock screen. If you go into Home screen you can turn on an option which ides notification badges while the focus is on and you can even select to hide certain home screen pages while it is on. I guess if somebody used their phone for work and personal use and maybe they have work related apps on a certain home screen or home screens and all their personal apps on another home screen or screens, then they could customize the work focus so that during work hours all the home screen pages with personal apps are hidden. The lock screen options allow you to dim the lock screen when the focus is active and you can also silence notifications on the lock screen if it is active which means you would still get notifications if your phone is unlocked, but not when it is locked or on the lock screen.

I thought I had do not disturb figured out, but my son, who is on my favorites couldn’t reach me last night. I want to set up a repeating do not disturb from 10 PM to 8 AM every day, but allow calls from favorites. I Can’t tell if I’ve done it right or not. Do not disturb is announced every evening, so that part’s right, but I don’t think favorites can get through. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. God bless!
