iOS makes it easy for you to personalize multiple Focus Mode settings, so you’ll only get notifications from apps that you allow in these situations. To set up your Focus Modes, open your iPhone settings. Then select Focus. Pick one of the pre-made Focus Mode options to customize, or tap the plus sign in the top right corner to make your own.

If creating a new Focus Mode, choose what you want to focus on. If you choose Custom, you can add a custom name and icon for this mode. Now, choose contacts you want to allow notifications from when this Focus Mode is enabled. Tap Add Person and select contacts you want to allow notifications from. Separately from these allowed contacts, you can choose to allow calls from everyone, all contacts, favourite contacts, or no one. If you select no one, contacts you’ve added to the allowed section will still be able to call you. If you don’t want to allow anyone to contact you when this mode is enabled, select Allow None. To allow the people and callers you’ve selected, tap the Allow button.

Next you can do something similar for specific apps you’d like to allow. Tap Add App to choose apps you want to allow notifications from while this Focus Mode is enabled. Some apps may have time-sensitive notifications, such as timed reminders or calendar alerts. If you want to allow apps outside of your allowed list to send only time-sensitive notifications, leave the time-sensitive notification switch on. If you don’t want to allow these notifications, tap the switch to turn them off. When you’re done, tap the Allow button at the bottom.

The basics of your Focus Mode have now been set up. Tap Done. There are a few more advanced settings you can configure if you’d like. Tap Focus Status. Focus Status will let people know that you have notifications silenced and that you won’t receive their notification right away. You can choose to leave this status on, or disable it so your contacts won’t know you have notifications turned off. Another setting you can configure is your Home Screen. If you like, you can disable notification badges on your home screen so you won’t be tempted to check notifications when this Focus Mode is on. You can also choose which page(s) of your home screen to allow during this Focus Mode. This makes it easier to Focus on the task at hand and avoid distractions. You can also customize your Lock Screen in this Focus Mode. You can dim the screen, and allow or hide silenced notifications during this Focus Mode. For custom Focus Modes, you can also change this setting’s name and appearance. Lastly, you can set up a schedule or automation if you like. This is a great option if you want a Focus Mode enabled automatically at a certain time, on specific days, in certain locations, or when you open a certain app.

After that, your Focus Mode is all set up and ready to use. To enable it, you can tap the switch at the top of this Focus Mode page, or to easily access it at any time, swipe downward from the top of your screen to open your Control Center. Then tap Focus. Select the Focus Mode you’d like to enable, and you’re all set. Return to your control center when you’re ready to turn your Focus Mode off.
