My phone tells others that I have notifications silenced, when I do not. I do not have any focus settings on, Do Not Disturb is off. When I took it to a tech?m, they had concerns that it was an update issue.

I purchased a new phone because of this issue and this phone is now telling everyone the same thing.

I do not know which tech team you went to. If it was an update issue then everyone who did that iOS update would have had it.


Please re-check the settings on your device. If you have multiple devices sharing the same Apple ID then activating Focus on one will activate on others too.

Apple tech team called me and went virtually through my phone with me and were unable to resolve it. They shared that it is a known issue with a few workarounds, but there are users’ iClouds that it’s doing it to. I got a new phone thinking it was the phone, but it’s still happening. Glitch from latest update for some users not others. They’re working on a fix but no eta.
