This looks promising, and the developer’s name is familiar from the last code I used to log into iCloud circa 2012.

Really? Apple actually supplies an API that will bypass the mute setting?

Can iOS not set priorities that bypass do not disturb features? Or play a sound upon receiving a notification (i.e. separate than a notification sound)? I was just throwing ideas out there, I guess I just assumed that would be on all the OSes... Wouldn't think it would run on a truly silent phone, just for vibrate. At any rate, might be a moot point given the other options proposed.

As Jay said, it would be pretty silly for Apple to open up the ability to override the settings when the settings are intended to be your global preferences.

“This is an old question but I stumbled on it when trying to find an answer for my iPhone 8. There is now a real solution to this problem— edit the contact and turn “Emergency Bypass On”. The text says it overrides Do Not Disturb, but I tested it and it overrides the silent switch too!”
So basically, phone is missing, use a phone-based plugin (provided the number is static), google voice, or whatever, with the “Emergency Bypass” feature. That’ll make it ring even on DND or vibrate.
