Focus mode directly sends calls to voicemail and making a separate silent and vibrate mode.

I've been away from IOS for a while because work needed me to and came back about a month ago. Do not disturbe turned into focus and I was excited about this until I notice two things.

first, when turned on, my incoming calls go directly to voicemail. This is exactly not how I want it to behave and as I understand there is no way of changing this.

And second, I don't get any notification banners anymore, which I would like. I want to use focus as some kind of silent mode. We have ring mode and vibrate mode with the switch on the side of the phone. And I know I can disable vibrations in the settings when silenced but it is a work around for a feature that should be easily accessable. On Android this worked like a charm, on apple it needs to be done with a work around.

A possible (partly) solution could be to make a automation that toggles the "vibrate on silent" option when turning on a Focus. It would certainly be a step in the right direction!

I would like those things to be changed if possible, or do people have other solutions to this? I really want a setup in which I can put a phone on silent, for example when I put my phone on my desk in eye view. This way I can see incoming phone calls without allerting my coworkers.

I do have a apple watch, right now I disable vibrations on silent to get vibrations on my watch, but it still lacks control in my opinion.
