Do not disturb

Hi.


I am hoping someone can provide clarity on the do not disturb function.


I have an iPhone X running ios 12.4.1


When I turn on do not disturb, incoming calls are sent straight to voicemail without ringing. I would have expected the call to come through and the phone will not ring and/or light up etc.


Which of these two, if either, is the correct behaviour for incoming calls when do not disturb is turned on?


Or is it network dependent? is there a setting which determines this?


Please assist.


Thanks.

OK... And how do you know it didn't?

The call had to reach the phone in order for DND to send it to voicemail the way it does.

You don't see a missed call notification because the call wasn't missed. It was actively rejected and sent to voice mail by DND.
