Yeah but that's going to block everyone. I still want my contacts to be able to get through.
I'll keep playing around with the notification thing... it's more of an annoyance than an issue.
It's customizable , u can set for contacts only the rest won't go through or voicemail

That's new to me... I even tried to find that earlier to see if they finally added that... but I can't seem to find the setting for that...
There is a block numbers page but only an option to select 'block unknown/private numbers'... or adding individual numbers

Ahhh... I was looking in the phone app settings. So actually I do use this already. I have DND on auto for set hours from night till morning. For this I only allow favorites... basically in case there is some kind of family emergency.
I know I can set up multiple DND schedules but is there a way to set specific restrictions for each?

Example... daytime DND allows all contacts to get through for call and everyone for text.
Nighttime only allows favorites...

The reason I'm so particular on this is that this is also my business phone... I have 100's of contacts in there are definitely don't want them going off at night...

Try using Bixby routines

So a couple months later this is still a thing for me.
As far as the Bixby routine, I haven't tried that as I don't use Bixby... wouldn't even know where to start.
I just called Samsung and they said they couldn't really help me as that is handled by the carrier.
Going to call AT&T tomorrow.
