Select contacts to receive calls from even iii you're ignoring everyone else
Blocking mode is a very useful function that enables you to turn off notifications for everything from updates to phone calls during those times when you're in a meeting, sleeping or you have just had enough of communication.
When you are in Blocking mode, you can still hear audio from music or videos on the device but won't be disturbed by an incoming emails or phone calls. Bliss! The mode comes with a small list of settings that you can tweak to your liking and one such setting is the Allowed Contacts list. This handy option allows you to select your nearest and dearest-those you would take a call from even in the middle of the most important meeting - and put them on a whitelist. This means that even when you're in Blocking mode you will be able to receive calls from only these contacts. Note that you will need to activate the mode before tweaking its settings and making a selection of those people who are always important to talk to.
