Do not Disturb isn't working on my iPhone 12 Pro

Hello, so I mostly keep my phone on Do not Disturb 99.9% and all the sudden after my most recent update (16.5) i noticed that this feature just fully stopped doing its job. It started to allow all of my apps through even though i have it on. When I go to settings it has selected and placed apps in to the “Apps” section by itself. I go and delete the apps but it just reappears seconds after I delete them. I don’t know what to do or how to fix this problem.

(1) Try and Force Restart your iPhone EXACTLY as shown below and see whether that resolves the issue:

Press and quickly release Volume UP button
Press and quickly release Volume DOWN button
Press and Hold the SIDE button until an Apple logo appears and then release the Side button (Can take up to 20 seconds. (DO NOT release Side Button when invited to Slide Power OFF).

(2) If the above does not work then - Can you delete that Focus and create a new one? See whether that resolves the issue.

Just in case none of these work for you: I had the same problem. Then I just realized that, somehow, I reversed the settings for who could reach me and who couldn't. So, basically, I was blocking the few people I allow to reach me at any time while letting everyone else ping me at any time whatsoever.

It happens. Make sure that's not your problem.
