I seem to recall in the past that Do Not Disturb gave you more options, whereas now there is less functionality. Specifically, I used to be able to make decisions about phone calls, texts and emails separately. Now, calls and messages are grouped together. If I wanted to let phone calls from certain people reach me during the night I could, but their texts would be silenced. Now, if I set it that calls can come through from someone, then automatically their texts can come through too! Why would you take away that choice and assume that people want them grouped together? If someone has an emergency overnight then chances are they will call, and I want that to come through. But if that same person just texts me about something while I'm asleep, why would I want to hear that notification? Why take away the ability for me to customize Do Not Disturb as I would like?

All I can tell you is, this morning at 3:30am I received a text, with the notification sound, from someone in my Favorite Contacts list. My phone is set to allow Calls from Favorite contacts only, while Messages are set to None. So why am I still receiving a message from someone on that list during the time period when my Do Not Disturb is supposed to be working?

Yes I did that, and removed everyone I had put in that "Allow only selected contacts" box as you suggested. I guess only time will tell! Thanks for your help, I did indicate it was the solution.

If it still isn't working, visit the support tab in this app, navigate to "send feedback" and let Samsung know.
Have a great day! Don't hesitate to reach out with any other issues.
