Why does my iphone ring while driving?

There is a setting to stop the phone from ringing while driving. I'm pretty sure I have that turned on. It worked with my iPhone 6 plus, but my iPhone 12 rings while I'm driving. Is this a known bug? I can't find the setting right now, but I'm pretty sure it's still there. I'm running iOS 15.1.1.


I never want my phone to ring while driving. I have also noticed that texts make a sound during my sleep hours, which are set.

iPhone 12, iOS 15

I discovered that Focus either does not allow me to set up Do Not Disturb as I want or else I don't understand it. I'm on the phone with Apple Support. If I turn on Do Not Disturb and then turn on Driving, Do Not Disturb turns off on its own. If I then turn on Sleep, Driving turns off. That makes no sense unless the top Do Not Disturb is the manual setting, though I have set to activate automatically while driving. But why can't I set it to Driving and Sleep. The support guy at Apple is consulting with his senior advisor.
