That certainly does- thanks! I see that if your phone is plugged in, the call will still come through because the screen is not locked while Siri is turned on and listening. Also, apparently having the setting turned on to allow favorites to ring through is the default now- at least I never had this problem before.

I use Do Not Disturb regularly. If you want to change settings for it go to Do Not Disturb in the iOS Settings. You can switch on or off several controls, including allowing calls from favorites, allowing repeated calls made within a few minutes, and so forth. You can set it up to be on a certain schedule, like if you want Do Not Disturb active from 10p to 7a every night. Unfortunately, you cannot set a different schedule for weekends and for weekdays. To control whether individual contacts can bypass the DND setting, you need to go to the contacts on your device, choose the contact, and then hit edit. There will be a button that appears near the top of the screen labeled something like, "Bypass Do Not Disturb." When turned on, it will do exactly that. If you have set a text tone for the person, then I have found that when their message comes through, the associated text tone will play as well, regarless if DND is on or not. Sometimes I have been in meetings and had DND on, but then a text tone plays for one of the VIP contacts which I have allowed the bypass for. Also, even if your device is muted and DND is not turned on, the text toen will play.
