do not disturb focuses sharing on icloud devices???

hi all,

i shared an icloud with my mom and i recently got a new phone, and she updated hers to ios 15 and since then whenever i switch on dnd it automatically switches on on hers and the same thing happens with the other focus i use on my iPad for school.

i cant seem to find any option to turn this off in the cloud page so does anyone know how i could switch this off??

much thanks! :)

Hi NoorTheUnicorn,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. It appears that you have some questions about the Focus feature being used on all your devices and we can help with this. When using Focus, you'll want to make sure that the option 'Share Across Devices' is disabled in Settings > Focus.

See: Use Focus on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


We'd also recommend that either you or your mom create a new Apple ID. You can then set up a Family Sharing group and still share your purchases. Check out the following links.
