Apple has introduced Focus Mode, a feature that lessens distractions on your iPhone and iPad devices, with the release of iOS 15. The standard Do Not Disturb (DND) option on your iPhone has been replaced by this new Focus mode and is no longer accessible through the Control Center or Settings menu. Find out below what Share Focus Status is in iOS 15.
What is Share Focus Status in iOS 15?
Focus mode’s goal is to help you concentrate on what matters most by eliminating all types of distractions, such as notifications from particular apps, incoming calls, texts, and other things. Simply put, it’s a means to increase the options available in the well-known Do Not Disturb mode.
Other iPhone or iPad users sending you messages will be able to tell that you have hushed your notifications once you have enabled Focus mode on your iOS 15 devices. This frequently occurs as a result of a new iOS device function called Share Focus Status. It is a choice that is automatically activated when Focus mode is turned on. The Messages app will also let other iOS 15 users in your contact list know that you are in Do Not Disturb mode.
Thankfully, iOS 15 includes a setting that allows you to disable your Focus Status so that it does not alert people that your iPhone is set to Do Not Disturb. Take the actions outlined below.
