Hello Msxnzz,


Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities!


Check out the following information to see if this may help to clear up what you're experiencing. You can also locate this information, along with more here: Use Focus on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


Share your Focus status

When you set up a Focus, you can turn on Share Focus Status so that apps display to people who message you that you have notifications silenced. The apps only know that you have notifications silenced. Apps don't know which Focus you have turned on, so the name is never shared. Focus status is shared in apps when you have a Focus turned on and after you give an app permission. 

To turn Focus Status on: 

1. Go to Settings > Focus. 

2. Select the Focus you set up. 

3. Tap Focus Status, then turn it on.


If you have Focus Status enabled, but still seeing that you're unable to adjust the option to share this then let's check that you're up-to-date with the latest iOS version. If an update is available, be sure to complete a backup prior to completing the installation. For assistance with updating or backing up, check out this resource: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


We hope that's able to help with what you're experiencing, so let us know the results.


Have a great day!
