It's possible to activate the Do Not Disturb feature for a set of private contacts on your iPhone . This can silence only the selected or private contacts on your iPhone, while allowing messages and calls from everyone else.
Enabling the “Do Not Disturb” feature for one or more specific contacts on your iPhone will come in handy in cases where you need to prevent certain contacts from bothering you, while allowing others to call you.
Depending on your situation, you can set select contacts or individual contacts to Do Not Disturb using the Messages app or the Contacts app on your iPhone.
Here are the steps to turn on Do Not Disturb mode for specific contacts on your iPhone using the Messages app and the Contacts app.
1. Activate the Do Not Disturb option for a specific contact using the messaging application
When you have a current or previous message from a selected contact, you can follow the steps below to turn on Do Not Disturb mode for that specific contact on your iPhone.
Open the Messages app > Tap on the app dialog box that you simply want to put on Do Not Disturb.
On the next screen, click on Contact Title or Amount , after which tap on the "i" (Details) icon.
On the contact information screen, change the choice for Disguise Alert and Tap On to prevent this contact's parameters from being lost.
This can turn on Do Not Disturb mode for that specific contact and you will not receive notifications of names and messages from that specific contact, while all other contacts will be able to name and message you.
Now, if you go into the Messages app, you will see a “half moon icon” next to messages from contacts you have put on Do Not Disturb mode.
2. Activate Do Not Disturb mode for certain contacts using the Contacts app
If you don't have a message from the contact you just want to put on Do Not Disturb mode, you can use the Contacts app to turn on Do Not Disturb for a specific contact on your iPhone.
