I can't activate Focus Mode using location automation

Hello


I am using iPhone 13 Pro, running iOS 15 and I would like to set up "Work" Focus mode based on me arriving at my office. However when I get to the stage where I need to set up the location, there is nothing to be displayed. Can someone help me out please?

I had the same issue, but I found the issue.


Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services

Scroll down to 'System Services'

Check that 'Location-Based Alerts' is GREEN

Thanks. I already followed these steps. But when I type anything in location search box (your last step), locations are not being returned as part of search.


I tried to see if there is any additional permissions needed under Settings > Locations to activate location suggestions, but cannot find anything called Focus app.
