The new Focus Mode in iOS 15 is Apple’s way of making Do Not Disturb Mode better and more functional. Apple has made certain improvisation to the good old DND mode to make and added a couple of new features like creating filters for calls and messages, setting auto-reply to let people know you aren’t available along with several other customisations and automation. The idea here is to bring more control to users by giving them the flexibility to set up their own DND, the way they want. Let’s dig in and see how to set up Focus mode and how it works. Also note that the Focus mode also works for Mac, Watch and iPad. How to get started with Focus mode in iOS15 On your iPhone or iPad running iOS15, head to the Settings app, scroll down to the Focus option. Here you’ll see some preset options — Do Not Disturb, Driving, Sleep, Personal and Work along with a ‘+’ button at the top right to create custom Focus modes. Then you’ll find the option Share Across Devices. Below that you’ll find the option — Focus Status and Phone Calls, which allows you to control which apps can access Focus mode and manage calls when Focus mode is enabled.
