Change focus

I’m having trouble with The focus button in The control center (when you swipe down from the right corner). I cannot switch between the focus functions. I try to touch the button but nothing happens except turning on/off the focus my phone suggests. All the other buttons work fine.


iPhone 11, iOS 16

Hello gunhild23,



Thanks for choosing the Apple Support Communities. We see you're having issues choosing your Focus in Control Center.


There are actually two ways to choose a focus.

  1. Tap the icon inside the circle - This will choose the recommended focus.
  2. Tap the area outside of the circle but still in the Focus rectangle - This will bring up your list of Focus modes to choose from.


Give that a try. Also, here is a user guide on how to use Focus on your iPhone.


Use Focus on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


We hope this helps.


Cheers!
