I just updated my iPhone to 16.1.1 version. Now there isn't a toggle to turn Do Not Disturb on and off.

And-beyond ~ Here's a screenshot of the shortcut as a bookmark and as a widget:

And here's the iCloud link:

Toggle Disturb

...Tapping that link should show a blue Get Shortcut button at the bottom – the shortcut will be added to your shortcuts collection. Then, to add its small icon to your Home Screen:

Add a shortcut to the Home Screen on iPhone or iPad

Or, for the large icon:

Set up and run shortcuts from a widget on iPhone or iPad

The Speak actions in that shortcut can be easily eliminated:

• Open the Shortcuts app
• You'll see the blue Toggle Disturb shortcut
• Tap the white disc containing three dots (…)
• You'll see each action has an "x" in a disc to the right
• For each of the two Speak actions, tap that "x"
• Tap Done at upper right

I encourage you to learn how to create your own custom shortcuts:

Hi And-beyond,

We'd like to help you find the best solution for using Do Not Disturb. This feature is used with Focus. You can find all the details about this here: Use Do Not Disturb with Focus on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support. This will give you a guide on how to use Focus Do Not Disturb, and several other options that are available for more specific customization. We hope this helps.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Yeah, Apple created an extra step to do something that used to be extraordinarily easy. I had this issue, too. I just wanted a simple way to turn on Do Not Disturb. In an earlier thread I posted about this issue, one of the experts gave me a real good solution: There's a shortcut you can add that's called Toggle Disturb. In other words, you can put it on your homescreen...and then toggle DND on and off. There is even audio that tells you that you've turned it on, or off....but I've temporarily disabled that feature to see if you can live without it. What I suggest you do is to go to Shortcuts...search for Toggle Disturb....add it...then drag it from your shortcuts onto the first page of your home screen. Done. It really worked for me. Hope it works for you.

It displays as a crescent moon in the status bar, but it shares space with the location services arrow, so when an app is using location services you can’t see it.

If you open the Control Center the Focus button that turns it on or off will change color.

Yes there is. It was moved to the Control Center.

And-beyond ~ Or say:

"Hey Siri, Turn do not disturb on."

And: "Hey Siri, Turn do not disturb off."
