    Way to disable apps taking over focus?

    I found this mega annoying on Windows and was hoping it would not be an issue on my Mac. But it is! 😢 Let's say I'm working on something inside one app - typing an email, and then another app that I launched before takes over and I'm now typing inside of it. Grr! Maybe that app was stuck and...

    Apple says my iPhone CANNOT do this, and I don't want it to do it, but it does it anyway.

    Under Focus, I have 'Share Across Devices' turned OFF on all of my Apple devices (Macs, iPhones and iPads). Nevertheless, when I turn on or off 'Do Not Disturb' on one iPhone 12 my other iPhone 12 copies (syncs) that setting. I have a message on the iPhone that states, "Focus Syncing REQUIRES...

    Focus uses location data of my old iPhone

    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)...

    Disable Focus Suggestions

    My iPhone XR (iOS 15) often presents me with annoying suggestions about focus modes for driving, work, etc. The only options to respond to the notifications are "Not Now" or "Always". I don't want to use Focus at all. Is there a way to completely stop this?

    Is the new Focus feature necessary?

    Do you guys feel the new Focus feature is necessary? Or was the old Do Not Disturb enough? How easily distracted are you that you need to hide certain home screens during certain Focuses? I just want to hear some opinions.

    “Hold on a sec…” automatic reply

    Something is replying automatically with “Hold on a sec…” and also ”I’m driving…”. I assume it has something to do with Focus but I can’t find where to customize it (if it is even possible). Note, I also have an Apple Watch with watchOS 8 — so it might be coming from there but I didn’t see any...

    Groups in Focuses

    I wish there was a way to add groups of people (as defined by contacts) or groups of apps (perhaps as defined by the Home Screen). Even the option to add “Favorites” would be nice. But, once a Focus is set up, I don’t see any way to do mass additions and deletions. But also, generally, I...

    Focus Bug: Notifications Appearing on Lock Screen?

    I have “Show on Lock Screen” toggled off in my Focus modes & I’m still seeing supposedly "silent" notifications on the Lock Screen. Praying this is a bug. Is anyone else seeing this bug too? Hoping this truly is a bug and not the intended behavior.

    Focus

    It would be nice add a Group of contacts rather than 1 contact at a time. I have over 1000 contacts in my Work Contacts group. No one will choose all 500 rather than selecting the group.

    Focus and Dual SIM

    Can you disable either line using a Focus? E.g, disable my work line during a personal/weekend/holiday Focus? Or does Shortcuts finally allow you to do so in iOS 15? This wwould make more sense then disable if individual contacts IMHO.

    Custom Focus ideas?

    So, fellow beta-users, I've setup most all the basic ones like work, gaming, fitness, reading, etc, but was hoping for some more creative people who've already thought of really cool custom Focus-sets. Please do share them!

    My iPhone XS Max randomly started having focusing issues. The view in the camera app will pulse from focused to not focused very quickly and it will not stop even if I try to force focus by touching the screen. When I select 2X focus it seems to stop. I've tried force closing the app and...

    Intrusive browser window coming into focus.

    I often have multiple Chrome browser windows open, with multiple tabs open in each. I'm repeatedly having an issue where a back (dormant) window will force itself to the front (focus). I can live with it but it's annoying because it sometimes happens at a very inconvenient moment, eg. just as I...

    iPhone 8 Plus front facing camera doesn’t focus

    I just recently bought an iPhone 8 Plus and I’m dealing with this annoying issue, where the front facing camera does not focus on close objects. It doesn’t even focus on anything, it just changes exposure. I came from an iPhone 5c and I used to take close up pictures but on the 8 Plus it just...
