You can still receive phone calls, but they will go straight to voicemail. These calls will also appear as missed calls in your call logs.
To turn do not disturb on or off, swipe up from the bottom of your screen to open Control Center, then tap the crescent moon icon.
When do not disturb is on, you will also see that crescent moon icon in the status bar at the top of your screen.
Do Phone Calls Go to Voicemail on Do Not Disturb?
When you have do not disturb turned on, and someone tries to call you, the call will usually go straight to voicemail. However, there are exceptions to this rule.
If the person calling you is on your “favorite contact list,” then the call will come through as normal if you have enabled “Allowed notification” in the Do not disturb settings.
Additionally, if you have “Do not disturb” set to allow calls from everyone, then the call will also come through as normal.
You can also change the “Do not disturb mode” settings to allow calls from certain people or turn it off altogether.
