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.

iPhone XS, iOS 16

Hey missmess,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This is a user-to-user forum though, so if you have feedback you'd like to provide to improve Apple's Focus feature, you should submit that formally using this link: Product Feedback - Apple


We hope this helps out.


Take care!
