Trying to turn it off

Yes, I did try that, that is why I said "The problem? In the Focus section of the Settings, where you instruct

to 'Turn off Do Not Disturb,' does not give me that option. It shows that Do Not Disturb is on, but offers me no way to turn it off."

To anyone else having this problem, the solution (as it turns out) is incredibly simple. If your Focus/Settings screen does not have an on/off toggle switch for Do Not Disturb like mine, instead:

1. Pull up your Control Center buttons by flicking up from the bottom of the screen (like you would to turn on the Flashlight). You will see the Focus/Do Not Disturb button with a small crescent moon on it.
2. When the background behind the moon is white, it will also say that your Focus/Do Not Disturb is on. [See photos below for screenshots.]
3. To turn Focus/Do Not Disturb OFF, simply tap the moon itself (not the part of the button with text on it - that will open a popup window that won't help you here). You will see the background behind the moon turn black or dark gray instead of white.

Success! You have turned off your Focus/Do Not Disturb. :) Hope this helps a few people!

• Open Control Center. Access Control Center on your iPhone - Apple Support
• Tap “Focus”
• Turn off Do Not Disturb

I am having this problem too. Even tried resetting the iphone's settings, as that is supposed to reset the Do Not Disturb function according to some sources.

The problem? In the Focus section of the Settings, where you instruct to "Turn off Do Not Disturb," it does not give me that option. It shows that Do Not Disturb is on, but offers me no way to turn it off.

It is driving me crazy, and has been happening randomly over the last few weeks. As a business owner and someone with an elderly parent undergoing health risks, I cannot afford to miss important calls.

Please help!

I wonder if you were responding to me, not the original poster. If so, you ended up trying exactly what I recommended. Your quote above is incorrect:

I never said anything about Settings. I did refer to Control Center.

Your post shows no indication that you tried the method I recommended above.

!!! Ah! You're right. :) I think I was reading about 5 different help pages at once and in the moment got scrambled. I was seriously panicking at that point.

Thank you! :D

Thank you so much! This was driving me crazy too!!!
