Share focus status greyed out after IOS 15.5 update

After IOS 15.5 update my share focus status is greyed out on every contact. I have share across devices on, I don’t have anyone in allowed notifications boxes on the focus status currently turned on.

Description: Share Focus Status is greyed out.

I cannot see when other iPhones have focus shared and notifications silenced in Messages and other iPhones do not see my [username] has notifications silenced in their Messages app.


What has been tried with Apple Support and had zero success:

  • toggling off and on Focus
  • toggling off and on Settings / Focus / Share Across Devices
  • toggling off and on Settings / Messages / Allow Messages to Access Focus
  • toggling off and on Settings / Privacy / Focus / Shared with Messages
  • logging out of iCloud everywhere else (two Mac laptops)
  • removing those additional Mac OS devices from iCloud so that my iPhone was the only thing listed
  • Resetting iPhone with General / Transfer or Reset iPhone / Reset All Settings


I really like the feature of my friends being able to see that I was on Do Not Disturb and had notifications silenced when they try to Message me. It was working great everywhere for a while. Broken for the last 3 weeks or so.
