Phone is basically vibrate mode 24/7 the Emergency Bypass toggle setting on each contact set, allows me to hear notifications for text or call for a select few while not allowing the rest. I’ve yet to see this feature on another phone. Just one of the things why I love iOS.

I hate to be that person but Android has it too, not sure how long but I had it on my last one before switching to iOS again.

From this post on stackexchange I guess it's been around for at least 6 years.

Good! It’s a great feature. I use it for a contact that is a list of number that might call me when I’m on call for work. Turn it on at the start and then off again when I’m done.

Not the same on the droids. So far as I can tell.

iOS has the lists you can set on a focus and all the messing about. True.

But this feature, at least for me, is tagged to a contact. It lives with the contact across all my devices. And it means I can’t accidentally make any new settings changes, modes, mute switches, vibrate, no vibrate, cinema, focus, sleep, driving, anything not now not ever not old not new and not yet to be discovered way to accidentally have that call not ring for that person. Their call will ring. On all my devices that are on.

That’s a separate peace of mind. I can’t mess up a setting so that I won’t hear or get their call.
