iPhone Focus options - improvement suggestions
Two suggestions for improvement:
1) Allow the option for an auto-reply in custom Focuses. This is available in the premade “Driving” Focus, so it should be easily expanded as an option for custom Focuses.
2) Allow the notice “[Name] has notifications silenced” to be shown to contacts, even if Messages are on the “Allowed Apps” list. Often I want folks to know I am unavailable, but also need to know when particular messages come through—usually from professional connections for whom I don’t have contact information (so I can’t put them on the “Allowed People” list).
I don’t think these are difficult asks, and they don’t change the function of the Focus capability, but the more nuanced customization would make them that much better.
