My devices don’t show silent mode on, but my friends see me on silent mode

Hello, my friend just told me that my iPhone was on silent mode, and i check all my devices and none of them was on silent mode. I even turned off in settings focus share Across Devices, and my friends still tells me that i appear as in Silent Mode. Is this a bug ? All my devices have the latest software updates IOS 15.3.1


and the same happened to my friend, last week he appeared on silent mode and he wasn’t

Salutations Silentmodeappears, 


We understand that your contacts are seeing a message that your notifications are silenced.


Here are a few things to check. Any iOS/iPadOS devices that are signed in with the same Apple ID, even if they are powered off or have run out of battery, please be sure none of them have an active Focus. 


Do be sure ‘Share Across Devices’ is enabled for every Focus. This way when a focus is updated in one place, it will update in all places.


In Settings > Privacy > Focus are Messages enabled? 


Thanks.
