It is very likely that we have a huge list of contacts on our iPhone, accumulated after years of adding and adding numbers. However, it is very possible that of all this tangle of contacts, only a handful of them are the ones we use most frequently. Therefore, it is very useful to mark those favorite contacts that we can have more at hand and to which we will grant certain privileges.
Our iPhone is packed with features to make life easier for us. Sometimes searching the agenda is slower than if we have a direct access where we can have the most common contacts at hand. In addition, marking contacts as “Favorites” does much more than just quick access.
What are favorite contacts for?
More handy contacts
In the first place and as we say, it is the best direct access to have family, friends or coworkers with whom we communicate every day. When you mark a contact as a favorite, it will appear in a special section of “Favorites” or VIP contacts next to the phone dialer. In this way we will only have to click on it to instantly access them.
Yes they can “bother you”
The other great utility has to do with the Do Not Disturb mode. It is one of the most useful functions of iPhone, since it allows you to deactivate all notifications and calls when we need zero distractions. However, favorite contacts can bypass this restriction , that is, that even with this mode activated, we will be notified in a sound way of their calls or messages.
While you drive
One of the most interesting tools when saving favorite contacts is that when we are driving with the Do Not Disturb mode activated, a message will be sent automatically to our contacts indicating that we are behind the wheel. In this way, and even if they are “Favorite” contacts, Apple prevails the importance of staying focused behind the wheel.
How to add them
In order to add a contact to the favorites list, we will have to enter our calendar and select a contact. Then we will scroll down and click on “Add to favorites”. It is also possible that after a while we are no longer interested in a certain contact remaining on our favorites list. For this reason we can easily remove it. To do this, tap on “Edit” in the upper right and tap on the red button that says “Delete”. In the same way we can rearrange them, by tapping on the icon of the three stripes and dragging it where it suits us to order this list.
