Focus

How does it work?!?

I’d like a simple ON or OFF for Do Not Disturb!

Swipe down diagonally from top RH of screen to get Control center then tap on Focus. Tap on Do Not Disturb to toggle it on or off. Tap on (...) and select an option if necessary

If Focus is not there then add it in Settings, Control Center.

Or Settings, Focus, Do not disturb, turn it on. Make sure all otrher focuses are deleted of you don't want them

There were 3 or 4 other options added recently.

I figured it out - in settings under focus, it’s possible to delete all the others.

Simply say,

Hey Siri, Turn On Do Not Disturb

Hey Siri, Turn Off Do Not Disturb

Well done.

Having deleted the others, I can easily turn it on or off with no confusion. That’s what I was looking for - simplicity - but one of the contributors was upset that I didn’t give him the glory!
