Google messaging won't recognize exceptions to DND feature

[Slm4]

Google messaging won't recognize exceptions to DND feature. DND doesn't stop messages or calls ever since Google messaging replaced samsung messaging.

Does it not recognize favorites at all?

Is it because it no longer looks to samsung contacts where my favorites are listed?

I still use Samsung messages as my default message app. To me DND is a waste of time, causes more problems then if you don't use that feature.

I really love the DND feature, and used it to allow calls from those marked as favorites in my contacts. Thank you f or letting me know googlemessages  has no such feature. I do not know if I can, but I am going to try to go back to samsung messaging. If you have any advice, I'd appreciate it.
