focus mode

What will be the behaviour of Notifications if the Focus settings in iOS 17.3.1 are made as "Allow specific people" = None, "Silence specific apps" = None. Whether any notifications are expected to appear? If so, for what people or Apps. Related Apple Support page link is...

Two days ago I created a new Focus mode: Fitness. The default one, not a custom one. Just noticed that on both of my Mac mini M2 and MacBook Pro 13' Intel (with the last version installed 13.3.1) if I go on Focus mode from either the Control Center or the System Settings, the Fitness Focus is...

Does anyone know of a way to have the Messages app automatically reply to messages from others? For example, when I'm on vacation, I can set my email to send an automatic reply to people telling them I'm on vacation and that I'll get back to them by some future date, but in the meantime, if it's...

How do you make the popup go away? See screenshots below. Every day I have a work focus mode that turns on which includes a custom homepage layout and a second page that has a few more apps at the top but is mostly empty. I have to dismiss this popup separately on both pages every morning...

I have started using the Work Focus Mode while working and it's really helping me. There's just one problem: Sometimes I need to set Reminders or Calendar events that are important and need to show up even while the Focus Mode is active. I realise that I can do that by enabling Time Sensitive...

I have my iPhone set up sot that my Fitness focus mode is enabled when I start a workout. This was worked well for about a year now. However, starting with what I believe was iOS 16.2 and watchOS 9.2, that option will sometimes turn itself off. I have to go back into the Fitness Focus mode and...

Hi, when setting up a focus mode, I sometimes get the option to create and/or choose a specific set of home screen pages to activate, but sometimes not! For sleep and mindfulness, I've been able to create a new home screen page, but I don't think I've seen it for other focus modes (including...

Hello, I figure this might be a good place to ask, but does anyone know if there's a way to automatically switch the default browser based on current focus mode? For work, I'm required to use Chrome, but prefer Safari for my personal use. It would be great if, during office hours, I could have...

Anyone else wish Apple would add a 2022-worthy "Out of Office" reply for Mail. Setting up "rules" that could wind up sending an out of office reply to every message already in my inbox if not set up right is so antiquated. This is the sort of feature that Focus Modes would pair beautifully with...

Does anybody know why the lock screen is blurred when sleep focus is activated and how to turn it off? I want to see that shiny moon background they offer 🥺

Hello, I recall on the iOS 15 keynote they had mentioned that Focus mode would also be available for group message. I am being notified on all my group messages even though I only have 5 members that I am allowing. The 5 allowed are not on any of the group messages, so why am I still receiving...

Hello, I upgraded from my trusty old iPhone 8 Plus to a brand new iPhone 13 Pro Max a few weeks ago. But for some reason in Focus mode, the nice automation feature tries to use the location of my old iPhone 8 Plus instead of using the location of my new 13 Pro Max. (see screenshot below)...

Hi! I'm a teacher and I need to use my personal iPhone hotspot on my classes, so when I turn my "work" focus mode (automatically based on location) I would like to turn on hotspot auto also. Is it possible? How? Thanks in advance! Best regards, Andrea

I always put my iPhone in Sleep mode (now under Focus in iOS 15) before sleep every night and turn it off every morning when I wake up but to my surprise when I go to Health app those hours between when I turn the Sleep mode on and off are not being logged under ‘Sleep’ in Health app. Confused...

So I frequently enable DND so I don't get distracted and to hide my notifications from me (when DND is enabled, notifications are grouped in a "while in Do Not Disturb" section. I have notification sounds disabled for some apps that I never want to make a notification sound (like Reddit). This...

Hello everyone! Thanks in advance for any advice. So, I have an Apple Watch Series 4, when I put it into sleep mode in the past (either triggers on iPhone or watch), the screen would not turn on when detecting a wrist raise. I would have to touch the screen or turn the Digital Crown to...
