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).
iPhone 13 mini, iOS 18
I was able to fix both phones. This is definitely a bug Apple needs to look into. In the end, turning off the across device DnD feature then cycle focus mode on and off multiple times again and waiting about 5-10 hours was able to get both phones back to normal.
we do not share an Apple ID we both have multiple Apple devices though. All of those devices were checked and DnD was not activated on any of them when the issue was present.

You may have other devices or you and your partner use the same Apple ID.
When your Mac is set to "Do Not Disturb" (DND), your iPhones will also be automatically switched to "Do Not Disturb." Consider disabling the "Share Across Devices" option to prevent this synchronization, as illustrated in the image below.
