Disabling discord calls completely on iPhone when app is off or add button
Hi All,
I only just stumbled on to this major flaw the last two nights as my group decided to have all nighters in Pokerstars for a change. I went to bed early and my iPhone started ringing in the middle of the night and woke everyone up. I look at the lock screen and I see the group channel name is trying to call me via the regular iPhone call menu, but my Discord was off. So naturally I try looking for setting to turn this off that I might have forgot. Seems that there is no way at all to turn this off. So a quick search on the net I find out this is related to a thing called callkit? A handy thing that even when the app isn't running and all notifications are turned off in settings, still comes through via your regular call menu on your phone. It completely bypasses everything too, even the Do Not Disturb setting. So I tested this with friends with iPhones this morning to see if it happened to them as well. Same thing for them.
So we try all possible workarounds not to be disturbed at night. It seems the only way to silence the Discord app (even when it is OFF, app, settings, etc) is to turn your phone on silent and all vibration haptics off. The call still comes through, but what if my mother calls me in the middle of the night when she is having a heart attack and my phone is on silent? The only other way for regular calls to come through but not Discords is to turn off Wifi for the entire phone, AND mobile data for the app and going through those steps every single night and morning. Sorry, but that is just complete bullshit!
A lot of arguments on the net right now about who's fault that rrly is. I don't care, but what I do care about is sleep and not having to handicap my phone at the same time so I cant respond to emergencies.
Could you please for the sake of people wanting to have a good nights sleep make a setting in the mobile app to turn calls and group calls from the discord app OFF via one simple button please? That would be really helpful. I could delete discord from my phone too, but I really don't want to because it has no other flaws for me but this one highly intrusive one. If anyone has any other workaround that doesn't involve crippling my device please msg below too.
Thanks for your help
Steve

I completely agree. While I don’t get as many calls as the person above, I still find it concerning that this Callkit thing can not be something that can be deselected in your user settings or your phone settings for the Discord app. I suggest that Discord works with Apple to make that feature an option, and not something many users are now stuck with. I honestly wouldn’t want to have to go back to using services like Skype or Teamspeak again. Please Discord. Listen to your userbase and make the right decision.

Still nothing on this?

What does turning off "integrate calls with phone app" even do? I still get full screen calls that I cannot get rid of unless I answer, even with this setting turned off. There really needs to be a way to fully disable call notifications on the iOS app.

honestly still having the same problem and it is genuinely hell. i get woken up on a regular basis by a group of friends, but i don't want to leave the group every time i want to get a decent night's sleep. i notice that the original post here was made 9 months ago

Maybe try logging out of the app?

I'm having the exact same issues and I honestly find it amazing that there does not appear to be a solution to this problem. I mean, maybe it's something super obvious that us 50 people don't get, just please tell us.
Also, I know I can't expect a quick solution during COVID-19, but I just stumbled across this thread and wanted to add some more recent activity to it.

I’m surprised that discord hasn’t even acknowledged this yet

I think there is now an option in Notifications. It says "Integrate calls with Phone app". Just turn it off and you won't get calls.
