Sometimes I want to make sure I receive a call. But focus seems to be for specific contacts. What's a simple way to toggle easily between dnd and dnd OFF?

Swipe in The Control Center from top RH corner and use the focus button.
Either tap on dnd or the three dots fir more choice

The only difference between DND and other focuses is you cannot delete DND where you can wile all others away.
As you found, some focuses since ios16 can be set to reject only certain calls and texts, or you can choose to accept only certain calls and texts.
Make sure you check things like repeated calls when someone can try twice in a short time and get through
Another quick way to turn on a focus is to associate a focus with a lock screen and swap lock screens.
Thanks - that's what I've always done, but I never knew what "Focus" means or whether calls would ring. After putting this question in, I just created a custom DND-Off focus. I have to drill down to select that "Focus" but at least I "know" it will allow any phone calls I may be expecting but whose numbers I don't know. (You pretty much never know what number an incoming call from a business will be.) In order to "Allow All Calls" I had to proceed PAST the "Select contacts to allow calls from" in Settings.
(I have another Focus that accepts calls from my family.) If I can get used to "DND-Off" focus saying it's "On" it might work.
In the meantime, does anyone happen to know what a non DND "Focus" means functionally if there are no Focuses set up at all?
