OnePlus: Allow Calls During Do Not Disturb Mode

If Do Not Disturb on your OnePlus phone silences calls from people who actually need to reach you, the default setup is blocking everyone by mistake. Call and message exceptions in Do Not Disturb are handled separately, so muting WhatsApp or SMS alerts does not automatically decide who can still call you. Adjusting the call exception lets you pick between all contacts, only favorites, or nobody at all.

Allow Calls in Do Not Disturb Mode auf OnePlus

Do Not Disturb on a OnePlus phone mutes incoming calls by default, along with messages and app alerts. That becomes a problem when you need to stay reachable for specific people while blocking everything else, for example during a meeting or overnight.

The call exception lives inside the Do Not Disturb settings, separate from the message and notification exceptions. Changing it lets calls from selected people ring through while the rest of the phone stays silent.

Open SettingsSounds & vibrationDo Not DisturbCallsAllow calls. Choose From anyone, From contacts only, From starred contacts only or Don't allow any calls.

From contacts only lets everyone saved in your address book through. From starred contacts only narrows that down to the people you have marked as favorites, useful if only a partner or close family should reach you. Don't allow any calls blocks every incoming call while Do Not Disturb stays active.

This setting only affects calls. Message and app notification exceptions sit in the same Do Not Disturb menu but work independently, so muting WhatsApp or SMS alerts does not change who is allowed to call you.

Frequently asked questions

No. Message notifications are controlled separately in the same Do Not Disturb menu, so contacts allowed to call may still be silenced for texts.
