Focus Modes Turning Off & On Automatically

My focuses are turning off and on automatically. Last night, my Sleep turned off by itself. 15 minutes ago, Do Not Disturb activated.


I have checked by automation -- none. I have checked my scheduling -- accurate. I have also confirmed I am not turning it on with another device.


Is this a known issue? What is the resolution?

iPhone 12, iOS 16

Hello TheAdmiral,


Let's use the steps below to make sure that your iPhone is all up to date:


1. Back up your device using iCloud or your computer.
2. Plug your device into power and connect to the internet with Wi-Fi.
3. Go to Settings > General, then tap Software Update.
4. If you see more than one software update option available, choose the one that you want to install.
The Settings app on iPhone showing options to update to iOS 15.7 or iOS 16.
5. Tap Install Now. If you see Download and Install instead, tap it to download the update, enter your passcode, then tap Install Now. If you don't know your passcode, learn what to do.


You can also find those steps in this resource: Update your iPhone or iPad


If your iPhone is all up to date, let's restart using the steps below: Restart your iPhone


1. Press and hold either volume button and the side button until the power-off slider appears.
The volume button is located on the left side of the device, and the side button is located on the right
2. Drag the slider, then wait 30 seconds for your device to turn off. If your device is frozen or unresponsive, force restart your device.
3. To turn your device back on, press and hold the side button (on the right side of your iPhone) until you see the Apple logo.


Updating and restarting can sometimes help address odd behaviors.


Should that still persist, you'll want to reach to to Apple Support: Contact - Official Apple Support They'll be in the best position to look into this further.


Take care.
