How to reset focus to default settings?

Is there a way to reset the Focus settings to default? I already tried “reset all settings” followed by “erase all content and settings” and neither one worked.

I've been trying that for the past 3 days, it seems like there's no hope with focus. It just decided not to work all my allowed contact get blocked automatically trying to contact me. I've erase the phone like brand new and it still not fixed. I don't know what else to do it seems like the app doesn't recognize my contacts or I don't

To remove a specific Focus mode, such as Personal, Work, Driving, or Sleep, except for the default Do Not Disturb (DND) mode, you can follow these steps:


  1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
  2. Scroll down and tap on Focus
  3. On the Focus screen, you will see the list of available Focus modes, including Personal, Work, Driving, Sleep, and others.
  4. Tap on the specific Focus mode you want to remove, such as Personal.
  5. Inside the selected Focus mode, scroll to the bottom of the screen.
  6. Tap on "Delete This Focus" (or a similar option) at the bottom.
  7. Confirm the deletion by tapping on "Delete" in the pop-up message.


By following these steps for each specific Focus mode you want to remove, except for the default Do Not Disturb (DND) mode, you can effectively eliminate those modes from your iPhone's settings.



Whenever needed...


  1. On the Focus screen, tap on the "+" icon in the top-right corner to create a new Focus mode.
  2. Choose the type of Focus mode you want to create, such as Personal, Work, Driving, etc.
  3. Customize the Focus mode settings according to your preferences.
