Focus on driving mode
Why does driving focus come on my devices even though I’m at home and I’m not in my car?

Hello didig,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
If we understand your post correctly, the Driving Focus feature is automatically turning on when you are at home and not driving We'd like to help!
Check out which setting you have enabled in Settings > Focus > Driving > Turn On Automatically.
Can you tell us what it is set to? If set to "Automatically," does temporarily changing that and switching back help?
Also make sure that you're running the latest iOS software on your phone which presently is 15.5.

Hello didig,
It could be possible that there's a setting in the car for CarPlay that may be causing this. We recommend checking with the manufacturer or dealership to check these settings. If the issue persists, Contact Apple for support and service.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities, and have a great day!
I have it on auto when I driving and right now it goes on when it wants to. I have it off now because I had to go to settings this am to turn it off. Yes, have the latest version on it. I even went to the store I bought it in and he turned it off, but as I said above, it came on again. Is it because my car is either in the driveway or garage? How can I keep it for the car but not in my house? Some messages I got this morning were silenced on all my devices because of it.
When you go into Settings>Focus>Driving>Turn on Automatically, what do you have selected? If you have "When Connected to Car Bluetooth" selected, try changing it to "Automatically". Also consider turning off "Activate With CarPlay".
