Someone with, for instance, older kids who could get themselves into a situation (and only communicate by text) and a parent in a different time zone who's got Alzheimer's and is being cared for by a stressed-out sibling who needs support and agreement from the rest of us by group email.
Isn't it possible to allow-list certain numbers?
Yes. Android for example has an option to allow starred contacts or certain conversation notifications to always ignore do not disturb, as well as letting any calls through if the same number calls twice during 15 minutes.
I'd love to use that feature, but it just seems so ineffective on my android. Things I whitelist fail to show, and things I blacklist pop up.
The BuzzKill app is amazing for this, imo.
