In general, most people put their phone in Do Not Disturb Mode, while they are in a meeting or seriously busy trying to meet a work deadline.

Since, Do Not Disturb Mode silences all Calls and Message Notifications, there is always the possibility of missing an important call or message.

The solution to this issue is to set an exception rule in DND Mode, allowing someone or certain people to Call or Message you, even if your Phone is placed in Do Not Disturb Mode.

On Android Phones, this can be achieved by designating Contacts as Starred Contacts in the Address book and enabling the option to allow Starred Contacts to Call or Message you during Do Not Disturb Mode.

1. Designate Starred Contacts in Address Book

As mentioned above, the first step is to designate that person or the people that you want to allow in Do Not Disturb Mode as Starred Contacts in the Address Book.

Open Contacts App > select the Contact that you want to designate as your starred Contact.

If you want to allow more people to Bypass Do Not Disturb Mode, you will have to repeat the above steps to designate them as your Starred Contacts in the Address Book.

2. Allow Someone to Call You in Do Not Disturb Mode

After designating starred Contacts, the next step is to allow Starred Contacts to Call or Message you, while your Android Phone is placed in Do Not Disturb Mode.

Open Settings > scroll down and tap on the Sounds & Vibration option.
