This could just be me, but when I have Do Not Disturb set on my iPhone, some really loud notifications still get through. The reason is also the solution. If you go to Settings, Focus, and Do Not Disturb, I had it set so that these two apps couldn’t disturb me — but that meant all the rest could. Flip it around to “Allow Notifications From” and then choose which apps, if any, you’re always okay with being interrupted by.
