Focus Automation Not Working

Hello there Daneka50,

Thanks for posting here on the Apple Support Communities! This is a place where other Apple users can submit questions or respond to others to help lend a hand. Let's take a closer look as we do our best to provide some additional insight.

We understand a location based Focus is not working on your iPhone. To get started, is this something you just set up using the Focus Settings in the Settings app, or did you actually create a shortcut/automation for this function in the Shortcuts application? Shortcuts User Guide

In the meantime, does this work if you test it in a different location instead? If you're using the Shortcuts app, does other shortcuts still work?

The reason we ask is there are an infinite amount of ways a specific function can be achieved using various options in the Shortcuts app. In some cases, you may just need to experiment to test similar functions in different ways.

We hope this helps get you pointed in the right direction.

Take care.

I had this setting on. I toggled it. It still does not work.

Hello Daneka50,

We just wanted to double check, as the same functionality can be achieved with either app. If you're just using the Focus Settings, we can focus our troubleshooting there.

To get started, please test using Focus with a different location to see if the same thing happens as mentioned before. That can tell us if the issue is location specific, or affecting the entire Focus feature.

Take care.

Thank you, kind sir

My shortcuts/automations were not running either. I had to disable, then enable again and then it worked.
