My focus mode will not turn off and I can not receive any notifications

Focus mode turned on some how after the iOS 15 update. Will not turn off. Can’t receive notifications. Always says I have on do not disturb when someone else sends a message. About to get rid of iPhones.

iPhone 13, iOS 16

Do Not disturb/ Notifications silenced stuck on after using focus mode (do not disturb) 2 days ago, friends have been texting me that my threads says my notifications are silenced. Focus mode has been cycled on and off multiple times, phone’s been powered down and even updated (still not fixed). My partner has the same phone and is having the exact same issue (hers started a week ago).

My phone tells other people my notifications are silenced but Focus is turned off. This continues to happen on my 14 Pro My iPhone 14 tells people my notifications are silenced but Focus is turned off. This has happened since I got the phone and only restarting helps but people have to tell me it’s on since all my settings are saying focus/DND is off.
