How do you set DND Focus per device?

How can I turn on do not disturb for one device, and not the rest? e.g. I don’t want notifications while gaming on my iPad, but still want notifications on my iPhone?

iPad Pro 11-inch Wi-Fi

Hello Caractor,


Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities, and we'll be happy to help in any way we can. We understand you're having issues with using Do Not Disturb on a single device only. As outlined in the article at the top of the page: "When you use Focus on one device, the setting is automatically applied across your Apple devices that are signed in with the same Apple ID."


You can turn off Share Across Devices under Settings > Focus to have it only affect the device you're setting the Focus on.


We hope this helps.


Cheers!
