I recently switched from iOS and it had a very useful feature of selecting contacts for "Emergency Bypass". Calls and messages from these contacts will always ring no matter what sound profile the phone is in. In android we do have do not disturb mode but that's not what I'm talking about. Emergency bypass means even if the phone is on silent, it will ring if that contact calls. Do we have something similar in samsung?

Is there a way to get calls from specific contacts even in silent mode? Not in do not disturb mode.

This is again for do not disturb mode only, the emergency bypass is different. It will ring the phone in any profile, even on silent and vibrate.

You can add the contacts to favorite

Now go to dnd settings and then select calls from favorite contacts only so here even if your device is in dnd mode still calls from the specific contacts will be ring

Everyone seems to be getting a bit confused here, bro I know about dnd mode. I'm not talking about it, what if your phone is on silent? Is there a way to get calls from specific contacts even in silent mode? Not in do not disturb mode.

Reading this on Sansung ultra 24 and NO this feature is not available. 

I have shifted to android and there are so many small but useful features are missing like

switching ringing and silent with a switch of a button

Focus mode is bad

Making a call from recent call tab is always 2 click

Ever 2 hour I receive an app update

Camera needs alot, I mean alot of light for hood pics else the quality of the pics are so artifical 

Icons still looks like a 5 year old should use

I can go on and on...
