How to turn off Focus Mode across Apple devices

i had focus mode turn on automation when I open some particular apps. For example, gaming mode turn on when I open a game. That’s a very good feature. But when I open a game in my iPad, the gaming mode also gets turned on in my iPhone. I don’t get call notifications when I turn on the focus mode. Is there any way so that if gaming mode is turned on in my iPad and my iPhone doesn’t?

On both your iPad (or iPhone), ensure that you have disabled Focus Share Across Devices:

Settings > Focus > Share Across devices - set to OFF


When set to ON, your active Focus mode is set for all devices that are signed-in to iCloud with the same AppleID.
