Hey there Catwoman898,


To disable Do Not Disturb, you can toggle it off from the Focus option in Control Center. To access Control Center, you'd swipe down from the top right corner of the screen.


For more details about using Focus, we wanted to provide a link for your reference, which can also be found right above your post: Use Do Not Disturb with Focus on your iPhone or iPad


Cheers!

Catwoman ~ Choose an on/off toggle, small or large:



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

Thanks, that's very helpful! I appreciate it.


I'm gutted, though, that it's no longer a flip on and off switch that was my go-to. It's now convoluted not very easy to set for meetings or phone calls or sleeping. I still need certain people to always access me regardless. While, I want all other silenced at select times as the need arises.


Bummer.

When you tap the "Focus" button in the Control Center, it should turn it off. So, two steps: swipe down for the Control Center, tap button. Previously, you had to tap on Settings, tap on Do Not Disturb then flip the switch to off. That's three steps, not counting navigating to settings. But, I get that once you get used to something, change is uncomfortable.


If, when you tap on the Focus button, you get a bunch of options, you've held your finger on the button for too long. Be sure to tap, not press.
