Focus location

I can’t add a location to focus. I can search the location and it comes up, but when I tap it, it doesn’t add the location. So I can only choose home since it’s already on the list.

iPhone XS Max, iOS 15

Hey LoriMoore23,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. If you haven't already, restart your iPhone to see if fresh connections help to choose the location for your custom Focus. Here's a guide on restarting, just in case: Restart your iPhone - Apple Support


In addition to restarting, it's always a good idea to make sure your software is updated. Updates help by installing bug fixes and security updates too. If an update is needed, back up first. Here are guides for those steps to help:


  1. How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
  2. Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
  3. How to manually update apps on your Apple device - Apple Support



After restarting and ensuring you're updated, try adding a location again to see if those steps helped. Here's a guide on using Focus too: Use Focus on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


Let us know how it goes.


Take care!
