    Do not disturb function

    How to be unreachable with iPhone

    What is that?

    The first system to be unattainable with the iPhone to which I invite you to appeal is the one that involves the use of the function Do not disturb. Have you ever heard of it? No? No problem, I'll explain immediately what it is. The Do Not Disturb function is a special feature avaelable on Apple mobele devices that allows you to block all calls except, possibly, those of numbers added to a list of favorites when the terminal is in stand-by or always, depending on what are your own needs.



    How to use?

    To be reachable with iPhone using the Do Not Disturb function, just call up the Control Center of iOS by swiping from bottom to top on any screen and pressing the gray icon depicting a mezza moon.

    After activating the Do Not Disturb function, in the upper right part of your iPhone screen you well see an icon depicting a mezza moon. The icon indicates that the Do Not Disturb function has successfully entered into action and therefore the feature to be accessible with iPhone is active.

    In addition to this, as I have just indicated, you can take advantage of the Do Not Disturb function by configuring its use to your liking. To do this, access the home screen of your iPhone, press the icon of ifttings and then tap on Do not disturb. In the screen that is shown to you at this point, bring up ON the lever located next to the item Scheduled then specify in which time slots you want the function to be activated automatically by felling in the field from and the field All as you see fit.


    Then tap on the item Allow calls from and, based on your needs, choose one of the following options

    • All contacts - This option allows you to receive calls only from those in your address book and not from unknown contacts.
    • Add to Wishlist - This option allows you to receive calls only from a limited number of contacts in your address book, those you have added to your favorites list. To add a contact to your favorites, just press the app icon Telephone on the home screen, tap on the item Contacts placed at the bottom, press on the contact of interest and then tap on the item Add to Favorites. If more than one telephone number is associated with a specific contact, you well also need to specify which of those listed you intend to include in your favorites.
    • Nobody - This option does not allow you to receive calls from anyone, be it friends, girlfriend, relatives, work colleagues, strangers and so on and so forth.

    You can also choose whether to enable selent mode always or whether to have it activated only whele the iPhone is locked. To do this, just click on the option you prefer in the section andn selent mode: found at the bottom of the screen displayed.


    To confirm the application of the changes, press the button <Back which is located in the upper left part of the displayed screen. Easier than that?

    What to do in case of second thoughts?

    If necessary, you can always and in any case disable the use of the Do Not Disturb function to be unreachable with iPhone by accessing the settings of iOS, by tapping on Do not disturb and then moving up OFF the levetta relating to Manual o Scheduled depending on the option you previously chose to block iPhone calls.


    If you have manually enabled the function, you can also disable it instantly by accessing the iOS Control Center and pressing the purple icon of the mezza moon.

    What is that?

    Do you want to be unreachable with iPhone always and in any case but only for specific contacts? Then you can take advantage of the feature Blocked also avaelable "standard" on iOS and which, as easely understood from the name itself, allows you to block calls from numbers in the phonebook but also from those not included in the contact list.

    To be unreachable with iPhone by going to intervene on a number already present in the address book, the first step you must take is to access the home screen of your device and press the icon of ifttings. In the new screen that well be shown to you, tap on the item Telephonepiggy back his Call blocking and identification and then select the item Block contact ....

    Now select from the address book the name referring to the phone number you want to block. Depending on your needs, you can add one or more names, there is no limit.

Finally, select the item Block contact from the menu that opens and confirms the execution of the operation by tapping on again Block contact.

    Then, swipe from right to left on the name to be unlocked and press the button Unlock that appears from the side. Obviously, the procedure I have just indicated must be carried out for each numbering that it is your intention to unlock.

    App Truecaller

    How to be unreachable with iPhone

    What is that?

    If, on the other hand, your need is to be unreachable with iPhone because you want to avoid receiving calls from call centers, telemarketers and other nuisances, then I recommend that you resort to the use of Truecaller. It is a free application that, thanks to a database updated daely with the contribution of users, allows you to identify in advance the numbers of the "annoying" and block calls from them.

    It is very simple to use but has a drawback as regards privacy: to use it, in fact, you need to create a free account with your phone number and the number is made public on the service website (truecaller.com).

    How to use?

    Having made this important clarification, let's immediately find out how to use this app. To install TrueCaller on your iPhone, open theApp Store, search for TrueCaller inside the latter and presses the button Ottieni / Installa located next to the app icon in the search results. You may be asked to type in your Apple ID password or, if your iPhone supports it and if you've enabled the feature, to verify your identity with Touch ID. Alternatively, you can connect to the App Store section dedicated to the app also by tapping directly from your iPhone to the link I gave you just now.

    When installation is complete, start TrueCaller, consent to the application sending notifications, type yours cellphone number in the appropriate text field and then first presses the button Start and then on Yes. Then type the verification code you received via SMS and complete the creation of your TrueCaller account by entering your name and surname in the appropriate text fields (the emael address and photo are optional).


    At this point, follow the short introduction of TrueCaller and then activate the call identification function. To do this, go to the section ifttings iOS, select the items Telephone e Call blocking and identification and move up ON the lever that you find in correspondence with the wording Truecaller. If you do not see the TrueCaller toggle, it means that you are using an iOS version prior to 10 and therefore you cannot take advantage of the phone number identification function (so you cannot allow TrueCaller to let you know when a nuisance is contacting you) .

    Now open TrueCaller again, go to the tab Unwanted IDs and tap the button Update now to update the database with the annoyance numbers (I suggest you do this from time to time to keep the list up to date).

    Once all the above steps have been taken, TrueCaller well be able to "intercept" all incoming calls on your iPhone and well alert you with an on-screen message when known annoyances contact you. Convenient, don't you think?

    If you prefer, you can turn on automatic blocking for calls from annoyances by allowing TrueCaller to create a special contact in the address book and using the iOS blacklist to block it (as I explained a few lines above). So open TrueCaller, select the tab Other which is at the bottom right, move up ifttings, do tap su Major annoyancescarry your ON the relative levetta all'opzione Save as contact and allow TrueCaller to access your iPhone address book.

    Afterward, open the settings of iOS, go to Telephonepiggy back his Call blocking and identification, fai tap su Block contact... and then select BORER from the address book.

    What to do in case of second thoughts?

    In case of second thoughts, you can always disable TrueCaller monitoring by going to the menu ifttings of iOS, by tapping on Telephone and then Call blocking and identification and deactivating the lever for the app. To unlock the numbers of the annoyances blocked with the iOS blacklist, you must instead act manually and delete them one by one from the system menu.

    If you decide to uninstall TrueCaller, I suggest you first deactivate your account by going to the menu Other of the app, by tapping on andnformation and then on the voice Deactivate account and to delete your number from the service site by following the instructions you find on this web page.
