I usually do this every night when I’m about to sleep, and also during times when I want to decompress from the barrage of notifications. Sure, DND mode is a thing but I really enjoy the feeling of being unreachable sometimes. Having it on DND still makes you receive the notifications. It’s also easier than turning your phone on and off. Regarding emergencies, I really don’t have any situations where it’d be so pressing for me to react immediately to something. And either way I’d never sleep having volume/vibration enabled from calls.
Is there anyone that relates to this?
If I’d turn it into airplane mode I’d be uneasy. DnD no issues there because emergencies come through but in airplane mode? Nope if anything happens somewhere I won’t be able to be reached. And then dealing with that seems worse to me. So I have it automatically jump into DnD at 21.00 and go out of it with the alarm in the morning.
Similar here. My DND runs automatically between 10pm and 7am, but I have a small number of people whitelisted whose calls will come through. Mine also has a setting where it will let someone through if they call twice within fifteen minutes. I don’t think anyone’s ever actually phoned during that time block but it gives me peace of mind to know I can still be reached in an emergency.
Tbh I don’t really have any emergencies I can imagine necessitates me responding in the middle of the night. But I guess it depends on one’s life.
One thing to consider might be a literal emergency alert. But I guess the frequency of those really depends on where you live.
