Is there a way to use focus to turn if phone line specific notifications

I use the dual-sim capability on my iPhone 12 Pro Max and was hoping the focus mode addition would solve my problem of being able to switch my work line off completely on evenings and weekends so as to be able to better separate work/ personal time when necessary.

focus allows me to turn off notifications from ‘messages’ for example but I only want to block notifications from ‘messages’ on the business line and not the personal line. Same for phone calls etc. Would love to keep using dual sim rather than going back to two phones!

can anyone help or suggest another to manage this on one phone??


thanks!!

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 16

Hello JRT0790,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities!

If we understand your post correctly, you want to know if there is a way to only block notifications from Messages on your business line and not your personal line. Great question!


When Focus Mode is set to on, then it is applied to the entire device including both phone lines.

Use Focus on your iPhone or iPad
