app not showing in settings for focus set up on ios15

Hi - I am setting up FOCUS on iPhone in IOS15.


Under ALLOWED NOTIFICATIONS I click on Apps > but I cannot see the App I want to use on the list.


Every other App on the phone appears OK on the list. Murphy's law.


This particular app does appear under the list of apps in SETTINGS


any ideas?



iPhone XS Max, iOS 15

Hi Ghostie1960,

Thanks for reaching out using Apple Support Communities. Here to help.

We understand you are inquiring about setting up a specific application to be allowed in a Focus mode.


Does this app already give you notifications? If notifications are not offered or allowed in general, the app will not be offered for notifications in Focus.


We would also check Settings > Notifications to see if the app is listed and enabled for notifications here.


If still having trouble, you may wish to contact the app developer to see if they are supporting this feature.
