When a “focus” is activated, folks who may want to text us get a general message like…. “Brian has notifications silenced” message. How can I customize this message to say, for example, In observation of Sabbath, Brian has notifications silenced until 10pm on Sundays”
Hello brianaray,
We understand that you're looking to submit a custom Focus message when people try and message you. Per Use Focus on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, "When you set up a Focus, you can turn on Share Focus Status so that apps display to people who message you that you have notifications silenced. The apps only know that you have notifications silenced. Apps don't know which Focus you have turned on, so the name is never shared."
So currently it is not possible, you you can submit Product Feedback if you like for new changes.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities!

How can I add a customized so not disturb message to others as opposed to just “ Brian has turned off his notifications”
