Do not disturb / focus turns on by itself I don't know how to reproduce it, but do not disturb / focus turns on by itself. I am 100% sure I did not switch it on by accident myself, in fact I had removed the do not disturb button from the control panel on my Iphone just be sure. I looked down at my phone at like 2 in the afternoon and saw it was on do not disturb. I have no idea how and I missed several texts / calls because of this. I believe it was somehow in sleeping focus mode but I don't know how, that should turn off by itself by 9am.

"Do Not Disturb" is disturbing my focus. How do I turn "Do Not Disturb" off? I'm operating in iOS 16.1.1. "Do Not Disturb" turns itself on throughout the day and I have to shut down my phone to get it to go away even for a few minutes.

SWIPE DOWN from the TOP RIGHT CORNER of your iPad’s screen. This will reveal the CONTROL CENTER. Find the FOCUS button (should be highlighted in white if Do Not Disturb is ON) and Tap on it. This should turn OFF Do Not Disturb.
