The new focus feature is awful. I want the old focus function back- was just one step to silence my phone whenever I needed to; this was quick easy and convenient. How do I get focus to work as just on or off without having to go through a lot of steps ?
Hello Wantoldfocus!
You can set up Focus one time, and it will turn on and off automatically at the times and dates you had pre-set. So you never have to turn it on, or off again!
To learn how to Use Focus on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support, please see this Support Article.
To silence your iPhone whenever you need to, you can just turn on Silent Mode by pushing the switch on the left side of your iPhone away from the screen, so that it shows red. Then, when you want to receive audible notifications again, just pull the switch towards you, and the red will disappear.
I hope this is helpful. Good Luck!

Downgrading iOS Focus:
Recommend this to Apple:
This a part of the iOS. Downgrading the iOS is not an option. So, let Apple know of you opinions. They barely read these forums as it is on their own time. Being not an option, recommend this to Apple. Apple won't get back to you directly, but the more feedback they receive on this, the more they will know what is their customers prefer, and what features to include in iOS versions to come.
