notifications silenced What does that mean

Turn a Focus on or off on iPhone tells you that

When a Focus is on, its icon...appears in the status bar and on the Lock Screen, and your status is automatically displayed in the Messages app. People who try to send you a message will see that you’ve silenced notifications, but they can still notify you if something is urgent.

We both have Focus off and my wife's phone still says she has notifications silenced. How to fix this???
