Notification that someone changes a notification status

My boyfriend came to me and showed my a message that popped up in our text conversation that said (my name) changed a notification status. I have not changed anything on my phone and I am very confused. Please help me figure this out so I can explain to him I’m not hiding anything on my phone.

Hello,


This article discusses the Focus features.


Use Focus on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

“Share your Focus status 


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. Focus status is shared in apps when you have a Focus turned on and after you give an app permission. 

To turn Focus Status on: 

  1. Go to Settings > Focus. 
  2. Select the Focus you set up. 
  3. Tap Focus Status, then turn it on.“


I hope this helps.
