Turn Off Do Not Disturb in Focus iOS 16

Is this the correct method for turning off Focus and Do Not Disturb features in iOS 16?

From your Home Screen, drag two fingers held together in a downward motion along the right edge of your screen.
The Control Center appears, and a Focus or Do Nor Disturb widget appears.
Tap the widget.
Tap the 3 dot menu to chose an option to suspend Focus for 1 hr. or Turn it off until This Evening. Or to TURN OFF Do Not Disturb completely: Tap on the words Do Not Disturb at the top of this pop up. Or without tapping the 3 dots tap on Do Not Disturb to toggle it in or off.

Focus or Do Not Disturb is turned OFF!

It's one way to do so, yes. However, you don't need to swipe down with two fingers to open Control Center- one will work the same.

And here I was wasting a perfectly good finger all these years! Thanks @Bubba. But yeah Apple has really buried the the toggling of Do Not Disturb in an unlikely place. Missed quite a few calls in the process. Adding the Disturb Toggle Shortcut widget that another user @Alancito suggested made it easier too.
