Tech Tip: iPhone Focus

Never forget to turn your sounds back on again when you use the left side switch to silence your iPhone. Here's a better way .... use Focus.

Open Control Center:

  • iPhones with Home button, swipe up from bottom edge
  • iPhones with Face ID, Swipe down from top right - where the Wi-Fi symbol is.
  • Find the Focus icon (the crescent moon) and tap it.
  • Next, we will tap the 3-dots next to Do Not Disturb, not the Do Not Disturb words.

Chose Focus

  • There are several options but we're focusing (!) on "Do Not Disturb". Tap the 3-dots next to Do Not Disturb.
  • Choices are:
  1. For 1 hour
  2. Until this evening
  3. Until I leave this location


When your selected focus is over, e.g., after 1 hour, your iPhone will now make sounds if you get a call, message, or notification. No worrying about remembering to turn your sounds back on!

Maybe you have someone in your Contacts that you want to have access to you even though you have silenced your iPhone. That's where Emergency Bypass comes in.


Here's a video. ("X" out of the Facebook pop-up to view the video, enable sound.)


Select that person's Contact, then Ringtone, and enable Emergency Bypass. Tap DONE when finished.


Enjoy!
