Notification going Through when using Do Not Disturb/Sleeo Mode

This has been happening for over a year now. My phone is iPhone 14 Pro running iOS 18.1.1. As you can see, there are no specified apps that should by pass this focus mode. I have the same setting for all focus modes.


Over a year ago, I did have this app and a few others bypass the focus mode. I removed them however the phone is not taking the new settings. Hasn’t been for over a year. I know I’m not the only one having this problem.


Has anyone figured out how to fix this yet?!?!? It’s really annoying when my phone screen comes on in the middle of the night while sleeping cause I’m sensitive to the light.

To prevent your iPhone display from turning on at night, you can use a combination of settings and features. Here are some steps you can follow:

  1. Enable Do Not Disturb:
    1. Go to Settings > Focus > Do Not Disturb.
    2. Schedule Do Not Disturb to be active during your sleeping hours.
    3. Ensure that "Dim Lock Screen" is enabled. This will keep the screen dimmed when notifications arrive.
  2. Turn Off Raise to Wake:
    1. Go to Settings > Display & Brightness.
    2. Turn off Raise to Wake.
  3. Reduce Lock Screen Notifications:
    1. Go to Settings > Notifications.
    2. Select the apps that you want to silence or limit notifications from at night.
    3. Change the notification style to "Deliver Quietly" or turn off lock screen notifications.
  4. Use Sleep Mode:
    1. Go to Settings > Focus > Sleep.
    2. Configure Sleep Mode with your bedtime and wake-up time.
    3. Sleep Mode will automatically enable Do Not Disturb and dim the lock screen during your sleeping hours.

Hi,


I don't want to turn off raise to wake because I use it as a clock at night while it's charging. The problem I have is that step number 1 and 4 are not working when I try to use them.


Why are app notifications going off when I'm using Sleep Mode or Do Not Disturb Mode?


This is the quesiton that I've been trying to answer for over a year now.
