What is Focus mode on iPhone and how does it work?
Focus mode lets you silence calls, messages, and notifications from specific people and apps while still letting the important ones through. Think of it as a smart Do Not Disturb that you can customise for different situations.
Focus mode lets you control which apps and people can reach you at specific times. Instead of silencing your phone completely, you pick exactly who and what gets through. You can set up different Focus modes for work, sleep, driving, or any situation where you need fewer distractions — each one remembers your settings and turns on automatically when you need it.

Common mistakes to avoid
- Thinking Focus mode silences your phone like Do Not Disturb — it's different because you decide which people and notifications get through
- Turning off notifications app-by-app when Focus mode can do it all in one place
Signs you need professional help
- Your iPhone is too old to have Focus mode — if you're on iOS 14 or earlier, you'll need to use Do Not Disturb instead
