Do Not Disturb apps appear under both Silence Notifications From and Allow Notifications From or neither iPhone 14 Pro, running iOS 16.3.1 Under Focus > Do Not Disturb, if an app is added to either Silence Notifications From or Allow Notifications From, it appears under both. And, if an app is removed from one, it disappears from the other. Assuming I'm not completely misunderstanding how this feature works (there could be more documentation on it) and assuming it's not a bug... What is the logic behind setting an app to have notifications both silenced from it as well as allowed from it at the same time? And, how do you silence notifications from an app while Do Not Disturb is active if adding it under Silence Notifications From also adds it to Allow Notifications From? Likewise, how do you allow notifications from an app while Do Not Disturb is active if adding it under Allow Notifications From also adds it to Silence Notifications From?

Focus mode: possible to control notifications per app AND per device? Hello community Consider this scenario: I have some apps on both my work phone, and my personal phone. During working hours, I'd like to activate "Work Focus" so that I receive notifications from these apps on my work phone but not my personal phone. For example, I'd like to get notifications from the "Phone" app only on my work phone. I'd also like to share the focus mode across my two phones. Is this possible? So far, it seems not to be possible, because the app notification settings in focus mode apply to all instances of the app - i.e. if I allow notifications from the "Phone" app, then I'll get calls on my personal phone as well as my work phone. Have I understood correctly that this is a limitation?

Can anyone help me figure out how to make iOS Focus work? Before iOS 16 I could turn notifications on or off for each app, customize notifications for those apps, and turn all notifications off with Do Not Disturb. Simple. Easy. Effective. With Focus I’ve tweaked an endless number of settings and I STILL can’t figure out how to just get my messages, calendar, and phone to notify me. I even got a message to create a driving “focus” WHILE I WAS LITERALLY DRIVING. I’m still missing calls, messages, appointments, and reminders and cannot for the life of me figure out how to fix it. Can anyone share how to set this thing to simply alert me for the apps whose notifications are turned on and stop all notifications when do not disturb is on? Thanks.

Go to Settings/Focus

Tap on a focus, for example, Do Not Disturb
Tap on Apps
Tap Silence Notifications From
Tap + and add the app
