Say what a Focus is
Quiet the phone without missing the people who matter.
A Focus is a named set of quiet hours. Do Not Disturb is one; Sleep and Personal are others.
While one is on, calls and messages arrive silently and wait. Nothing is blocked, and you name who gets through anyway.
Key points
- A Focus is a set of quiet hours with its own list of who gets through
- It silences the phone and never blocks or deletes
What to remember
- Silenced is not blocked.
- A Focus quiets the phone, not the people.
Try this
On your own iPhone open Settings, then Focus, then Do Not Disturb, and add one person.
