Realme: Allow or Deny Calls in Do Not Disturb Mode

If Do Not Disturb mode blocks every incoming call, even from close contacts, the call exception setting is probably still set to No one. Realme UI lets you fine-tune this behavior instead of muting your phone completely during focus time.

Allow or Deny Calls in Do Not Disturb auf Realme

Do Not Disturb on Realme UI silences calls by default unless you configure an exception list. This is controlled by a single setting that decides which callers can still reach you while focus mode is active.

Open SettingsSound & vibrationDo Not DisturbAllow calls from. You can then choose between Anyone, Contacts, Starred contacts only or No one.

What each option changes

Anyone disables call blocking entirely, so Do Not Disturb only affects notifications and sounds. Contacts lets through anyone saved in your phone, while Starred contacts only narrows this down to people you have specifically marked as favorites.

No one blocks every incoming call while Do Not Disturb is on, including numbers not saved at all. This is the setting most often responsible for missed calls that never even show up as notifications.

If calls still get through unwanted after choosing a stricter option, check whether Do Not Disturb is actually active, since the exception rule only applies while the mode is running. For repeated calls within a short time, some Android versions also apply a separate urgent-caller rule independent of this list.

Frequently asked questions

Check that Do Not Disturb is actually turned on. The Allow calls from setting only applies while the mode is active, not when it is scheduled but currently off.
