Since I have had my iPhone SE (2nd Generation) I have been successfully using Do Not Disturb, scheduled between 00:00 and 07:00. Now (iOS 15.3.1) it has been incorporated in Focus, although it switches in correctly at 00:00 midnight, it will not stop at the scheduled time of 07:00 (or any other). I have to switch it off manually when I realise I am missing calls.
What is going on and why can’t we have our old DND back which actually works?

Thank you LD150 for your reply.
I have none of the other Focus settings on. Never have. Just the DND, scheduled. Always turns on ok but never switches off at end time set. Have tried many different end times and DND just ignores them and stays on. The old DND scheduled on/off worked fine.

Success - thanks to your help LD150!
I stripped everything I could out of Focus and then, on DND only, set my 00.00 to 07:15 Schedule again, and it is all working fine this morning. So that solved the problem without having to do anything drastic! I assume there was a conflict in the remaining previous Focus settings which cause this malfunction.
Thanks again,

As I say mine works perfectly also in UK so there are a number of things to try in the software.
Backup first in case you don't like the result.
Settings, General, Transfer or reset iphone, Reset, Reset all settings.
If no better
Backup, restore to factory, and restore from backup
If you can import your media to Photos or iTunes in a computer and copy important documents to a cloud server it will give you some resilience in case the restore from backup fails.

DND Focus works exactly as the old DND apart from some extra options
Mine schedules and finishes as before.
Check you don't have any other focus overriding DND.
Delete all other focuses and change the schedule back by 1 minute and try again
Thank you once again, LD150.
As everything else on my iPhone is working perfectly, I think I’ll leave the nuclear option for now, although of course I am aware of it. I’ll just turn the Scheduled DND function off - luckily I seldom receive unwanted calls, texts, etc at night!
