iPhone allowing calls in Sleep Mode (Focus)

Make sure DND is set up correctly. Setup has been made much more flexible, but this has come at the cost of much more complication. To get it working again, do these steps ONCE:

• Tap Settings
• Tap Focus
• Tap on any Focus settings that you will never use and remove them (you can add them back later if you change your mind, and even create new, custom ones)
• Tap Do Not Disturb
• Tap People
• Tap Allow Notifications From
• If anyone is listed who should not call you when DND is on delete them; if you don’t want any calls from anyone, any time, delete all people
• Tap the dropdown next to Allow Calls From and choose Allowed People Only - as you have no allowed people, this means that no one can call you.
• Optionally, tap on Apps, then Allow Notifications From and don’t add any apps.

All of the above is a one-time setup. After that, turn DND on or off with the Control Center Focus button. You can optionally set one or more schedules by going to:

Settings/Focus/Do Not Disturb/Set a Schedule.

Don't know if you solved this or not. I was having this problem myself.

My solution was to simply...delete the sleep focus and then recreate it. Problem fixed.

I checked and the settings were identical prior to the deletion so it makes no sense.

I strongly do not recommend deleting the "Focus" setting. I followed these directions in iOS 17 and have not yet been able to recreate the default focus behaviour.

I have had my phone stop receiving calls And going straight to messages without me knowing. I found out it was my Sleep app that I had in effect! I tried to delete the whole thing from My Apple Watch and iPhone 13 but I still have the “bed emblem. “ showing on phone face and watch. Does it mean it’s still connected?
