iPhone automatically switches to "Personal" focus

Hi


On a number of occasions my iPhone is automatically switching to the "personal" focus.


I have not selected Personal focus at all. I do not require my iPhone to be in this focus, and I much prefer to select no focus at all. The only focus that is useful to me is "Do Not Disturb" at night.


How can I stop my iPhone switching to Personal focus on it's own.


Thanks

Lee

Go to Settings > focus > personal > Smart Activation - turn off.


In addition, if anyone else uses your iPad and turns on any focus on it, it will be turned on on your other devices that use the same Apple ID account to turn off this feature, go to Settings > focus > Share Across Devices - turn off.
