Hello nevaehamarieee,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We understand the importance of adjusting the settings for the Focus feature on your iPhone, and we'd be happy to provide some guidance.
Please check out the steps below:
Share your Focus status
When you’re using a Focus, it limits the notifications you receive from people and apps. When someone outside your allowed notifications tries to contact you, your Focus status appears in Messages and other apps you give permission to, so they know you’re busy.
When you give an app permission to share your Focus status, others can see that you have notifications silenced, but not the name of the Focus you have turned on. This information is shared only when you have a Focus turned on and after you give the app permission.
1. Go to Settings > Focus > Focus Status.
2. Turn on Share Focus Status, then select the Focus options you want to share.
Allow or silence notifications for a Focus on iPhone
We hope this information is useful. Kind regards.
