Do Not Disturb across platforms

If I activate Do Not Disturb on my Mac, shouldn't it work across platforms? I mean should I continue to get pings on my phone or iPad or Taptics on my watch? Or do I have to activate Do Not Disturb on each platform, which seems pretty ridiculous? Is there any way to do make the function work everywhere?


Thanks very much.

The Focus feature is supposed to sync. However, if you are not running iOS 15, Focus is not available, so I wouldn't expect DND to activate on a pre-iOS 15 device when you activate the DND Focus on Monterey.

There is a checkbox on the Focus System prefs (and in iOS settings); it seems it has to be enabled on every device you want to sync.
