Why does the do not disturb symbol stay on at the top of my phone with IOS 16.1.1

I did enable it and have tried to disable it by allowing everything but I only see that it is on with no option to turn it off.

Thanks for your help

Hi ppgnho,


Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities! If you go to Settings > Focus, do you have a scheduled Focus? If so, as noted in the following guide:


Turn on or schedule a Focus on iPhone

"You can schedule a Focus to turn on at certain times, when you’re at a particular location, or when you open a specific app."


Hope this helps!

Have a great day.
