iPhone 11 ...... Kid set up an alarm that turns off incoming texts and phone calls. Then starts a

musical alarm at 8 a.m. every fuckin' morning.

Now she doesn't remember how she set it up to turn it off.

If your iPhone is up to date ... Go to settings and check Focus > Do No Disturb or Sleep settings.

Your kid probably set up a schedule for Do Not Disturb OR Sleep functions. The Sleep period blocks everything then wakes up with a musical alarm.

i can’t afford the risk to miss a call from certain people or companies. if i was richer, i could use 2x phones.

You can set it up to allow calls from everyone in your Contacts list, or from a Favorites list that you can set up and amend as needed.
That means that all you miss is the fake phone number call from that nice person advising you that your car warranty needs to be updated, or the IRS needs $300 in gift cards.
