If course I quickly acknowledged it, so my phone would stop wailing, so missed the details.

TIL those alerts respect 'do not disturb'.

I keep that on while I sleep.

Unfortunately I can't, because I'm on-call for work so the poorly targeted alerts do nothing but interrupt my sleep.

There is more granularity built into he system, but the Canadian implementation chooses not to use those for some reason.

I'm pretty sure that on most phones you can allow calls from specific callers through on do not disturb

Sadly it doesn't work well on iPhone (with certain apps, anyways). So I don't trust do not disturb/sleep focus mode when on-call.

You can allow apps or individuals to punch through DND/Sleep mode… I guess you’re using some app that doesn’t expose contact, and mixed usage (ie personal and work share same app, but app doesn’t tell iOS who triggered the notification)?
