my focus status isn’t working. i’ve shared it across my devices and i turned it on in settings. however it doesn’t show for anyone and it’s greyed out when i try to turn it on in my friends contacts. i don’t know if it’s because my other phone has it turned off but i logged out of that phone so i have no idea how to solve this problem
iPhone 11, iOS 16
Share your Focus status
When you set up a Focus, you can turn on Share Focus Status so that apps display to people who message you that you have notifications silenced. The apps only know that you have notifications silenced. Apps don't know which Focus you have turned on, so the name is never shared. Focus status is shared in apps when you have a Focus turned on and after you give an app permission.
To turn Focus Status on:

As soon as you turn off the Focus the status message that was displayed earlier on the recipients iPhone will go away. There is no question of a new status appearing unless you have not enabled any of the focus DND.
