Focus Made Easy
Does your focus falter every time you hear that notification bell? Are you stuck in a constant cycle of checking your phone for updates? Well, the cycle ends here! Apple’s Focus is here to help you stay on track, on your terms.
Focus takes Do Not Disturb to a whole new level, with personalized Focus options that you can customize and adjust at any time!
Activate Focus
Go to Settings > Focus
Tap a Focus option (Do Not Disturb, Personal, Sleep, or Work) and then turn on the Focus.
Once you make your selection, you will see options like Allowed Notifications, Time Sensitive Notifications, and Focus Status.
Allowed Notifications allow you to designate which apps you will allow notifications from. Time Sensitive Notifications allow you to select which notifications you would like to receive from apps that are not in your designated allowed list. Your Focus Status communicates to people who message you that you have your notifications off. You can turn this on or off at any time.
Now that you’ve activated your Focus, it’s time to set up your custom Focus.
Apple provides you with Focus options, but you can also create your own!
Go to Settings > Focus
Tap the Add button, then tap Custom or any of the other options provided.
Name your Focus.
Select a color and icon for your custom Focus.
Adjust your Focus settings however you would like!
Once you set up your Focus, you can create a custom Home Screen that will only display apps related to your designated Focus. You can adjust your settings to display only this Home Screen when Focus is on.
Go to Settings > Focus.
Select your Focus, then tap Home Screen.
Turn on Custom Pages, then choose Home Screen displays you will enable during this Focus.
Tap Done.
The best part? You can schedule your Focus to automatically activate at the times or location that you choose!
Go to Settings > Focus. Select the Focus you would like to automate.
Go to Turn on Automatically > Add Schedule or Automation.
Select the conditions of your automation, and follow the steps provided!
You can also opt for Smart Activation to automatically enable Focus based on your app usage habits, location, and other criteria.
What are you waiting for? We can help you set up your custom Focus so that you can redefine your work space and your head space, on your terms!
