Isn't there a default Do Not Disturb mode?
Yes I see there is also a default Do not Disturb toggle in focus in settings. So you are saying no need to create a separate focus for this. just toggle on Do not Disturb and even that will mute and disable notifications till the time it is on ?

It should, but just try it for yourself. Asks someone to call, text, and email you while DND is on to confirm.

Tip of the day: Whether you decide to use the DND mode or create an entirely new focus mode, you can use automation while setting up the focus mode (or you can modify the DND mode) so that focus activates automatically when you launch Netflix and deactivates when you close the app.

Yep ! Figured that out. So now my notifications get automatically disabled when I launch the Netflix APP and turn on when I exit the APP.
