How to turn off dnd

Where do you get 5?

1. Swipe down from the battery icon (on any page of the Home screen, any running app, even the lock screen) to open the Control Center
2. Tap the Focus button

I count 1 swipe and 1 tap.

Now let’s consider the shortcut. First, it takes up more space than a single app, and, it is only on one page of the Home screen. As I have 5 pages, that could be up to 4 swipes plus a tap.

Here:

1. Swipe down from the battery icon to open the Control Center
2. Tap the Focus button to open the Focus pane
3. Tap Do Not Disturb
4. Swipe up to close the Focus pane
5. Tap outside the Control Center controls to close Control Center

I count 2 swipes and 3 taps. ...If any of those can be avoided, please let me know.

Perhaps that's because you haven't set up additional Focus modes beyond the default DND. I've set up several, so this is partially what I see when I tap the Focus button in Control Center:

Or better yet, just use the Focus button on the Control Center. No shortcut required!

How is Control Center's FIVE actions (swipes/taps) better than ONE tap on a shortcut icon?

That’s strange. I tap the Focus button on the control center and it changes color and toggles the DND setting. It doesn’t open Focus or anything else.

I will grant you a swipe to close the Control Center, however.

Or, put a shortcut icon on your Home Screen to toggle DND on & off – see HERE.
