iOS 15 Focus Status not working
I have set my Focus Status as disabled for when I enable Do Not Disturb.
However, on iMessage my friends are still being notified that “Ben has notifications silenced”
why is this happening?
iPhone X, iOS 13
Question marked as
I had this issue as well. I have multiple apple devices and this focus notification is shared across all devices. I spent days trying to figure it out and then I did. My iPad Pro was still in the focus mode “Sleep”. Once I turned it off, the notification that my notifications were muted went away. I hope this helps!

Yuliya261, that’d just hide the message, right? Won’t the notifications still be disabled?
Yup, my notifications are still silenced.
this just removes the notification banner for the recipient. What a mess!
dake still not working and an update went out today and still not good . Why should I have to reset my phone and go through all this when all Apple has to do is fix the DAM issue. Wake up Apple
That hasn’t worked for me
I am having the exact same problem
Me too!
I also have this issue. It's unacceptable and Apple support repeatedly suggests a restore which does not solve the issue.

This did not work. My focus setting inside of message settings is already set to off. What else might be a solution?
Yes!!!!! What benh said!!!! Definitely a bug and it’s soooooo annoying !!!!!!!!
I have this same issue. New contacts are having share focus status turned on in Messages automatically even though I have it off in settings
I agree.., THIS IS A DEFECT and truly medically dangerous bug. My diabetic son can not reach me sometime nor I him. It is Dec 27. Disabling focus STILL does not work and my family sees notifications are silenced. Please fix this. It doesn’t matter if I add people or apps (even though I have everything disabled anyway). The notifications Silenced still intermittently shows up. I can’t keep hard restarting all the family phones to fix this.
I was able to fix this by removing the people I had listed under "Allowed Notifications", even though all instances of Focus and even going to Messages -> Allow Access to Focus was turned off
