Smartphones have become an essential tool for staying in touch with loved ones, coworkers, and the rest of the globe. There will be times when you need a vacation from calls, especially those from certain people. Your iPhone has a number of features that let you ignore calls from specific people, whether you want to focus on work or relax in peace. This article delves into two reliable methods of doing so.
Focus mode on iPhone
The iPhone’s Focus function allows you to create a personalised setting by blocking incoming calls and alerts from selected individuals. The settings are as follows:
- Open the iPhone’s Settings menu and then select “Focus.”
- The Focus mode can be personalised by clicking the plus sign (+) in the upper right. Choose a name for it and click “Next.”
- Select “Silence Notifications From” and then add individuals under “People.”
- Select the people whose calls you want to mute.
- At the end, select “Done.”
The iPhone’s Control Centre can be accessed by pressing and holding the Focus toggle for a few seconds, at which point the user can select the custom Focus mode. As long as Focus mode is on, your Apple iPhone will not disturb you with calls from the chosen contacts.
Keep in mind that turning off Focus is as simple as pressing a button when you’re ready to start taking calls again.
Silent ringer
Assigning a quiet ringtone to a contact is another option for blocking their calls. To do it follow these steps:
- Open the Contacts app on your iPhone and tap the name of the person whose calls you want to mute.
- Select “Edit” in the profile’s upper-right corner to make changes.
- Use the drop-down menu and choose “Ringtone.” Next, go to your device’s “Tone Store” and look for a mute option there. Select “Assign to a Contact” from the pop-up menu after tapping the price next to the silent ringtone.
- Select the chosen contact and then select “Set as Ringtone.”
