In essence, you can use Emergency Bypass to allow both calls and text messages. However, it&rsquo;s not as straightforward as Allow Calls From. There&rsquo;s no mention of Emergency Bypass in the Do Not Disturb settings, you have to find and enable it for individual contacts, and you shouldn&rsquo;t confuse it with the unrelated Emergency Contacts used for Medical ID notifications.<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>There is one potentially unexpected caveat. If your Mac is awake and running Messages, it will likely capture text messages before they&rsquo;re sent to your iPhone. In most situations, that&rsquo;s sensible&mdash;you don&rsquo;t want text message notifications to make sounds on every Apple device you own if you&rsquo;re actively using your Mac. Obviously, if you&rsquo;re away from your Mac, it should be sleeping, but if that&rsquo;s not true for some reason, it could prevent messages from arriving on your iPhone regardless of Emergency Bypass.<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>The only thing to keep in mind is that Emergency Bypass will cause your iPhone to make sounds even if Do Not Disturb is on and the ring\/silent switch is enabled. That&rsquo;s the point, of course, but there are situations where silence is essential&mdash;a recital, a play, a meditation class. In other words, if Emergency Bypass overrides Do Not Disturb, how can you override Emergency Bypass every so often? Editing individual contact cards is clearly too much work. We found two levels of workaround[&#8230;]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This seems so complicated.
