This setting affects both calls and
notifications. This is parallel to but
managed entirely separate from the
Emergency Bypass option above.
What are the differences between
Emergency Bypass and Allowed
Notifications > Allowed People?Calls: Emergency Bypass can be set
just for calls; Allowed People can’t be
limited to just calls.
Texts: Likewise Emergency Bypass
can be set just for texts; Allowed
People cannot.For all calls/text: Emergency Bypass
overrides any Focus mode in iOS 15,
just like overriding Do Not Disturb in
iOS 14 and earlier.
Per Focus mode: Allowed People can
be set distinctly for each Focus mode.The whole point of these various
bypasses is to make sure you don’t
miss something that’s vital. Choose
wisely and use the range of options
to your advantage to tweak incoming
calls and text notifications to fit.HOW TO SPLIT UP AN
APPLE ID AMONG FAMILY
MEMBERS AND FORWARD
THEIR EMAIL
I have noted many times that the
Apple ID is the centre of one’s Apple
life. It’s your ID across all stores
and services, and a tool to recover
access to your Mac, iPhone, and
iPad (or erase them remotely if lost
or stolen), depending on how you’ve
configured things.
But many, many people started
down a path years ago, where a single
adult in the family set up an Apple
ID, then shared it with a partner or
spouse, then extended it to their
parents or children. You may even
have added aliases for email and as
backup contact emails to your AppleThe Allowed People section lets you
pick individuals to override Focus for
text notifications and incoming calls.
