Hello, Maryleyden.


Let's start by taking a look at this article: Turn a Focus on or off on iPhone. In particular, check the section titled Schedule a Focus to turn on automatically. It explains: "To have this Focus turn on automatically based on cues like your location, app usage, and more, tap Smart Activation, turn on Smart Activation, then tap at the top left.


Note: When you set up a Sleep Focus, it follows the sleep schedule you set in the Health app. To add or edit a sleep schedule, tap Open Sleep in Health. See Add or change sleep schedules in Health on iPhone. You can also change your next bedtime and wake-up time. See Set an alarm on iPhone."


Let us know if we can help with anything else at all or if this doesn't settle your issue. Thanks and have a fabulous day!

i have set up do not disturb for the 10:00pm-9:00am for the weekend but it doesn’t work on Saturday. I’ve spoken with a representative and we have figured out that the focus app does not recognize Saturday as the weekend because I’m starting it on Friday at 10pm. Now today the Monday morning didn’t work I’m thinking the same. I start it at 10 pm (actually weekend) on Sunday
