How to Remove Focus Mode on iPhone (tutorial)

[@Jason-zc9on]

I hate this fucking feature. Miss so many calls and I’m sick of having to constantly turn on a different “focus.” I tried setting schedules and it still doesn’t work

[@Roland-t6n]

Open up each focus separately and scroll to the very bottom where you can delete it. The only focus I couldn't delete was "Do Not Disturb" - but all the others are gone, gone :-)

[@CDsAvatars]

@@Roland-t6n Unfortunately, it seems they aren't truly "gone, gone" they are temporarily gone. I've done this a few times and then after an Apple upgrade or some other way, new focuses appear and I don't notice right away and just wonder why I didn't hear an important incoming call until I remember this horrible "feature" where Apple has decided it should control when people can reach me or not. As long as I can remember, iPhones have had a physical switch on the side where I can turn off the ringer. That's straight-forward and simple. If I ask about anything like this on an Apple forum and try to word it as a positive request for help, I get a message that my question was removed and my account blocked for being an Apple hater. I wasn't hating, just questioning how I can avoid a "feature" that doesn't work for me. I don't want to learn how to use the feature, I simple want to. turn it off permanently.

I've missed so many important calls from this feature when accidentally enabled

[@didihenry-kellerwilliams]

Same! Hate this part of my phone. Which I could delete it entirely. LOATH THIS.

[@alecsander4565]

Me too. Apple is becoming annoying AF!

[@christophervaughan2637]

It’s shit Apple are sick

[@jessienielsen6255]

For real though.. I feel like the biggest lead ingester making this cmmt, but you accidentally make a few sml swipes and you can miss a work changing call or important fun evening😑😑😑🍎🔫

[@AshLynn-mp3xs]

Omg me too

[@adrianapilonieta-ji1tt]

Thank you very much for the information. This is exactly what I wanted to do. It is quite annoying having to reset it every single day. I really appreciate the information.

[@rafaelsrafi]

thank you so much for not getting straight to the point and talking about everything else ❤

[@ariebaktiar]

I browse all apple website, just couldn't find this answer. Thank for your brief tutorial that works

[@alternadoc]

The title of the video was how to REMOVE Focus from iPhone which is EXACTLY what I want to do. The video never answers that question, however.

Exact!! So annoying!

[@johnkrolewski5764]

Agree

[@mindenfele3189]

You turn it off/on if you click on the half moon, you change type of focus if you tap anywhere else in the rectangle.

[@dufield]

Dude, you have saved my sanity- thank you!

[@hollypatrickmcgee]

Thank you so much! I have been trying to turn this off for days, actually weeks 😊

[@thehpw]

Hate this feature. Missed so many calls

[@themi6sportsnetwork171]

Thanks, this was so helpful! I totally missed out on the fact that Do Not Disturb was enabled on the control center.

Cant turn off - app developers pretending to care about too much screen time and in fact keeping us on the bloody thing longer trying to figure this

A prime example of a company that has no idea what it is doing besides wasting money on pointless upgrades. Just sad

[@HHTaucher]

Thank you for explaining how Focus Mode works. I think you did a great job explaining how to configure it. The video, however, is called "How to REMOVE Focus Mode on iPhone", but that is not answered in your video. I want to get rid of this function as it is the most annoying thing on my Apple devices. I am getting in serious trouble at work, with my wife and the rest of the family because I am never available. I spend thousands on these communication devices, and the main functions are simply not working because, apparently, Apple now decides if anyone can reach me or not.

[@Mudge07]

You also need to go into the Do not disturb menu and ADD all those app you need to work even when it’s, non intentionally, ON. It includes PHONE, so hopefully it’ll have minimal impact to those reliant on being disturbed!

[@markdandeneau3404]

Focus turned my ringer off several months ago. I found what I called a workaround which was to schedule it to be on for 15 minutes every day. Yesterday I told my wife I was considering throwing away my smart phone and getting a dumb one. Today my phone ringer was silenced and then a few hours later all calls straight to voicemail. Nothing in this video changes anything. Focus is malicious software as far as I am concerned.

[@renokiller]

Buy android we don’t have this issue. Honestly if I didn’t need an emergency phone I would never use an iPhone as stupid features like these are mandatory and impossible to remove, unlike this idiots video title.

[@YB-NYC]

This video did EXACTLY as promised. Thank you, because without your help, I would never have figured this out!😊

[@Pshady]

we want to REMOVE it all, not learn how to use it

[@RatedA4Aliens]

This is the stupidest feature ever. I have missed many important calls. I feel like suing apple for this stupid thing. Also the fact that there is a single button to put the phone to silence mode and you dont know for the life of your concious mind why in the hell the phone never rings and suddenly you find out the button got flipped. Screw apple

[@WatsonLiv]

This feature is sooooo irritating .. . It’s so annoying how can I disable it all an taken off. Stop adding features I cannot control. Missing calls and notifications. Apple -lease allow me to remove this no vale added service

Focus is ridiculous. Just give me a silent button that’s all.

[@elgenio3817]

In iphone 14 this is trash, people can bypass focus modes regardless if you have it on. Also repeated calls go through. Focus mode is not really a do not disturb.

[@marklibich415]

This easily the WORST function has ever built into iOS.
