Stop Messages from Asking to Share Focus Status

Hello,


Now that I’m on iOS 26.0, every time I open Messages I get a popup asking “Allow ‘Messages’ to share that you have notifications silenced when using Focus?”


I do not want to use this. It’s getting annoying that it pops up every single time I open Messages. Settings > Focus > Focus Status is set to “Off”.


How do I stop it from asking if I want to turn this on every time?


Thank you in advance.

iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 26
