No but does it turn from white (on) to black (off) when you tap it?


Go to Focus settings, Do not disturb, if you see Smart activaton, Turn it off and delete the schedule.

Then delete the do not disturb schedule itself

Delete ALL other focuses in Focus settings.

Try if for a day before adding back a schedule.

Hi, I was having the same issue too, I just figured it out in case you, or anybody else comes across this here:

Pull down control center from the top right corner and LONG PRESS Do Not Disturb, then tap either For 1 Hour or Until Tomorrow Morning. Even if you think it’s already on, tap one of those anyway. Now, tap the same one you just chose again.

OR you can also access Control Center by swiping up from the bottom. You’ll want to TAP Do Not Disturb on the bottom left and not long press if accessing from the bottom swiper. Follow same steps as above. It’s off now ☺️
