Missing Custom Focus Modes on iPhone

Last night I made a new focus mode. This morning I woke up and all of my custom focus modes were gone. I had like 5. I am extremely upset. Is there any way that I could somehow retrieve my focus modes? Please help!!

Did you get a fix for this in the end? It happened to me about a week ago and I don’t have it in me to set them all up again, I can’t remember everything I changed and the order and permissions of my hundreds of apps, and pages that I could see. I just want it back. I was thinking just to restore from backup, without syncing first. Did that work for you at all?

In Apple's Focus feature, only one Focus mode (e.g., Sleep, Do Not Disturb, Work) can be active at a time. When you enable one Focus mode, such as Sleep, any other active Focus mode, like Do Not Disturb, is automatically disabled.


This behavior ensures that settings, notifications, and preferences are streamlined for the currently active mode. If you switch to Do Not Disturb while Sleep is on, it will deactivate Sleep and apply the specific rules for Do Not Disturbinstead.
