How can I keep the mindfulness focus from turning off when screen locks? As soon as the screen locks, the focus turns off and I start getting notifications, which is exactly what you don't want during a mindfulness session. Is there a way to keep it active even when the screen locks?
Good day to you redheaven,
When setting up a Focus you can adjust the settings for it. Please go to Settings > Focus, tap on the Focus you’d like to manage and you can change the settings from there.
For example, with the Mindfulness Focus, you have it turn on automatically when beginning a session in the Mindfulness app. You can also opt to enable the Focus manually and adjust what notifications or contacts are allowed through it.
Use Focus on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Thanks.

Yes, thank you. I've set up the Focus properly to automatically start when I open any of the applicable apps, but when the screen locks (after 5 minutes of "inactivity") during a meditation/mindfulness session, the Focus turns off and I start getting alerts until the phone is unlocked again. There is no setting (that I see) to ensure the Focus stays on and alerts do not come thru even when the screen locks.
