Allow calls in bedtime mode

[zagp]

Hi, 

I have a Samsung Galaxy A12 and wondered if there was a way to allow calls during bedtime mode in case of emergency. Does anyone knif this is possible or could become editable in a future update? I'm a bit surprised that my 5 year old android that I had befthis could do it, but Samsung appears not to.

@zagp: I'll pass your feedback to our R&D team, as it would make sense to have an Exceptions option for Bedtime Mode. In the meantime, as a workaround, why not set up a Bixby Routine (Settings > Advanced Features > Bixby Routines) to enable Do Not Disturb and Dark Mode between a set time period, as this will allow you to enable Calls as an exception, in case of an emergency.

Thanks so much that is great to have a work around and I appreciate you feedback to R&D

I have do not disturb on my phone and that works from 9PM and 8.30am every day but you can set it for calls to come through the night and if someone calls twice within I think it's 10 minutes it will come straight through as well

Yes please.  Every night I have to turn the DND component off.  I have a frail relative who lives with a care alarm so it is essential to allow calls. But I love bedtime mode otherwise, it really does create quality sleep.  Thank you for offering to put this request forward.

You can add some contacts to favourites and set the phone to allow calls from favourites during do not disturb / made this because I'm working nights and had to add my wife and my son nursery in case of emergency as I am sleeping day time
