Focus Mode for Phone Calls Not Working Hi All, I have been facing this issue since IOS 16.4 to now ios 17.4.1. This issue was not there prior to IOS 16.4. Requirement in Focus I created a Personal Focus Mode with Allowed Contacts List or assume Favorites List. In People - I turned on "Allow repeated calls" In Apps - I added Phone app and other important apps like whatsapp. From the above setting - It is understood clearly that, I should be getting "Phone Calls Only from the Allowed List" and I should get notified with a Notification icon (count) of other calls missed on Phone App This is the purpose of settings in People. The purpose of Apps - I should get notified on Phone App missed calls and Whatsapp messages. This is the setting of Focus Mode. However, the PROBLEM is I get each and every call to answer Customer Support from Apple after multiple calls and Reset actions, Its understood that I should not add Phone App in the Apps section. Result If i dont add "Phone App" in the Apps Section, I am not getting notified other than allowed list and its WORKING - However, if any other person call is missed, I am not seeing RED BUBBLE Number (1) of missed calls on Phone APP (1) Question:- Why is this Happening Why is Phone App if added in Apps Notification List ignoring and allowing every call?

iPhone with focus allow call only from Contacts will allow any calls I want to use a Focus on my phone that is limiting the calls to only be allowed from Contacts. When I have the focus on, I still get calls from any random number that comes through to the phone. The only way to limit non contact is to turn on the Silence Unknow Calls, however I would like the Focus to replace that function. It seems that this should work but any phone number that calls will get through. Is this broken and Apple is not fixing it? Thanks!

What happened to Focus “on demand?” I just got new phone. On my old phone, I turned focus on and off by swiping up on my main screen. Easy-peazy. Now, I have to go to settings, set-up the focus, add people to my ‘personal’ focus, but then when I turn focus on, I can still hear dings from text messages from people NOT in my ‘personal’ list. I don’t want to hear the text messages from everybody: just a few people. Why can I still hear the dings?
