So I am using the new 15.1 IOS in which Do Not Disturb is buried within something called Focus. As it was unclear if the 'turn on automatically' is superseded by whether or not the Do Not Disturb switch is turned on or green, I decided to conduct some tests.
1) with DND on (or green) and with DND off (or white)
2) calling during the time range selected in 'turn on automatically' and calling outside the time range selected in 'turn on automatically'.
Thus there are four different scenarios. In each of the four, the phone still rings when calling from another number (and this number hasn't been entered as an "always allow" number)
