> people leaving their phones on Do Not Disturb, especially in the US where spam calls are rampant.
The solution for that is to record a few seconds of silence, save that as an MP3 and set that as the default ringtone. Then, select whatever ringtone you actually want to have to the few contacts you actually want to get calls from. Your phone never bothers you when spammers call, but you get pleasantly notified whenever a call from someone you care about comes in.
That’s a weird hack today. Most phones seem to have a setting for it now. I have it on on my iPhone, it’s not “focus”, but I can’t recall how I turned it on. Only my favorites ring. Also, my phone is always on silent so I really mean “vibrate”.
