I want to turn off the “Do Not Disturb” that somehow got turned on. How can I do that? I went to Settings, Focus, but cannot find an option to turn the stupid thing off. This has occurred only since I just updated the new software.

I just updated the software for my iPhone. Now the “Do Not Disturb” mode is locked on. I cannot get it to go off. I went to Settings, then Focus, which shows the “Do Not Disturb” mode is “on”. But I cannot find where I can turn it off or return it to its previous night hour schedule.

How can I turn off the “Do Not Disturb” mode. It has been applied across all my devices.

iPhone 13, iOS 16

Ope the Control center and see if this helps.

Thank you, but when I tap on the “Do Not Disturb” button (like in your second illustration), nothing happens. The half moon remains on across all my devices. If I tap on the “personal” or “work” buttons, I do not get an option to turn it off, only to either set schedule or “delete Focus”. I tried deleting “personal” and now I only have the “work” button.

But the “do not disturb” icon remains in place and test phone calls go straight to voice mail with no audible notification.

WAIT! I finally got to the screen in your first illustration. (Before I could only find “Settings”). I did tap on Focus, then DND and it worked to turn off the DND.

Thank You!!!!!!!
