You can disable any focus activities in Settings>Focus and/or in Control Center.

How do I turn off Focus? It interferes with my incoming calls! I have tried to “ turn it off” but, it always comes back. I have deled the schedule, tried to set it for “ everyone” and added apps! I hate this function! If I don’t want to be disturbed, I will turn off the phone!

iPhone with focus allow call only from Contacts will allow any calls I want to use a Focus on my phone that is limiting the calls to only be allowed from Contacts. When I have the focus on, I still get calls from any random number that comes through to the phone. The only way to limit non contact is to turn on the Silence Unknow Calls, however I would like the Focus to replace that function. It seems that this should work but any phone number that calls will get through. Is this broken and Apple is not fixing it? Thanks!

I want Focus app permanently off my iPhone I use an iPhone SE 2022 @ 17.1.2 and I get this FOCUS message. I want to receive every call at all times, so the last thing I want is anything on my phone that could possibly interfere with 24/7/365 reception. So I want to get rid of this Focus thing totally, including this "don't disturb" feature, that makes me very nervous because I don't know if and how this whole thing was activated in the first place, and I fear that I could miss calls, important to me. The mere possibility spooks me. Long message short: I want this "focus" app, including the "don't disturb" feature, totally, absolutely, irreversibly, permanently off my iPhone.
