When I swipe down from the top, right, it shows that my ‘do not disturb’ is on. When I go to settings, focus, it also shows that the ‘do not disturb’ is on. When I select the do not disturb line, it goes to a screen which offers me choices about setting a schedule, but there is no toggle switch to turn ‘do not disturb’ off.
iPhone 12
Not true. It used to be under focus. Now, it is gone. You have to create a focus program in order to configure times when the ‘do not disturb’ is on or off and then choose a whole bunch of different features that attached to that particular program you have created. It’s absurd. I have had to create a focus program that starts at 12:01 AM and goes until 11:59 PM every night as well as choose exactly which apps and people I want included or not included- all opposed to just turning it on or off.
And if the user doesn't want to use DO NOT DISTURB? What then?
It has created a nuisance! I came to Apple hoping for a good experience. But when a corporation begins to gray out the toggle switch, I want to leave them! I have already left another corporation who began doing that. I hate their phones with a capital H.
Please advise Apple to think twice before doing this. I do not want to spend time creating a FOCUS just because "Apple support articles have good info." I do not want to spend my time going through all the articles just so I can get my phone to my satisfaction. I'm done!
Simply? That’s not simple it’s removing a feature, I’m trying to screen capture a tutorial video. so what? Do I estimate my time, yes easy as clicking a button. Is this to give us less control over receiving Uber ads? Gosh apple

It is unclear what Focuc/Do Not Disturb has to do with screen capturing or Uber ads. If you turn it off in the way Lawrence explains, it's off. It won't affect anything.

I'm sorry but your technical support issue is unclear. Can you rephrase your question?

As many have stated and confirm, there is no toggle switch for this on my phone
That is correct. There is no longer a toggle switch.
You turn off Focus from the Control Center. Tap on the little round picture icon on the Focus button. Don't press it; just tap. Lawrence provided a very helpful screenshot.
PS
Also: The article:
Turn on or schedule a Focus on iPhone – Apple Support
says:
Note: You can also turn a Focus on or off by going to Settings 
> Focus, tapping the Focus, then turning it on.
Hi, Lawrence. I’m sorry I put you on the defensive. I just wrote a long reply, and it was deleted because it was too long. I’ll try again.
here’s what I see under settings-focus
There used to be an off toggle where the arrow is, now.
when I touch the arrow, I get to this
Thank you for letting us know we helped :-)
Cheers :-)
Please add a simple toggle switch back in addition to the schedule - you've made it too complicated just to be able to turn it on and off when needed.
The Do not disturb toggle switch has disappeared.
