Focus mode

I’m having a problem when using focus mode. Whatsapp notifications are still coming through when my phone is on do not disturb or sleep mode. My settings for Do not Disturb mode and Sleep mode are good. I tried resetting my notifications settings on whatsapp but still with the same issue. Has anyone else experienced this problem and managed to resolve it? Thanks.

Notifications in Messages are silenced even though Focus Modes is turned off. Even though I have not enabled any Focus Modes my Messages notifications are not coming through and, for other people in Messages, I'm showing up as having "notifications silenced".

Snapchat notifications are still coming through in Focus mode on my iPhone Hello, so I have turned on Sleep focus with no notifications from any applications allowed, time-sensitive notifications are also not allowed and also in iOS settings, Snapchat time-sensitive notifications are disabled. However, I still keep getting every Snapchat notification. I’ve tried to reinstall the app, and even when I’ve got a new phone, the problem persists. Is there any fix to it? I only know about the blocking of every app in the Focus settings, but it seems to be very non-Apple way to do things, when you have an option to select and not get notifications from any app. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Notification are on silent. Focus mode bug Is anyone else having this issue. People are telling me that my notifications have been silenced when trying to text me. I have never turned on the focus mode on my iPhone or any of my Apple devices. I have made sure they are turned off and I have restarted all my devices. This is very annoying and I need Apple to fix this problem ASAP.

Maybe you have added WhatsApp as an exception please remove it.

Hi.

Unfortunately I have no apps set under exceptions. I only have two contacts as exceptions (for calls and sms) All other apps are muted
