Notifications Silenced even though all focus modes off

I have deleted all focus modes, turned off DND, double checked status sharing in messages, etc etc… been through this multiple times over the last few days but friends and family all say our conversations show my notifications are silenced. PLEASE HELP!!

Hi OCollins524,


Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities! It sounds like you've done some great troubleshooting so far. If you haven't already, restart your device and ensure your software is updated to the latest version. Restarting and updating can fix many issues.

Restart your iPhone

Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


If it continues, follow these steps:


  1. Navigate to Settings > Focus

2. Turn ‘Share Across Devices’ to On if it is currently off. 

3. Turn on one of the default Focus states, such as Do Not Disturb

4. Wait a few seconds, then turn that Focus state off

5. Check-in with one of your contacts to see if the status still shows that you have notifications silenced


Following these steps may resolve the incorrect status from showing. Should it persist after these steps, we recommend completing the same steps on any other devices you use with your Apple ID, if applicable.


Hope that helps!
