I'm on iOS 15.8.2/iPhone SE (1st. gen.) and would like to create a setup which automatically turns on at night, and off in the morning with the following criteria:

- allows only calls from family (in case of emergencies etc.), but avoids crank callers etc.
- allows all text-messages, but with no sound alerts
- disable any other sound alerts

I believe I need to use "Focus" for this, but I haven't found any option for turning off sound.
Alternatively, perhaps a "Shortcut" could do this?

Focus mode should do what you looking for -

Choose Do Not Disturb, select the people you want to allow getting calls from as well as apps, in your case messages, then you can make schedule for turning it on/off.
