Android 16 upgrade and SimpliSafe Phone App - Setting change!!

Two days ago I upgraded my Pixel 8 to Android 16. Went smoothly and the SS phone app worked fine...so I thought until I opened the app this morning and saw a warning message that unless I allowed access in Do Not Disturb Mode I would not get any alerts, including alarm notices. Clicked on the link and was brought to the specific settings page, scrolled down to SS to set to "Allow access"  As I put my phone in DND mode each night for bed, this is no small matter.

Thanks to SS for putting the notification in the app as I would have never suspected the setting had been changed.
