Do not disturb cannot be turned off

Since I upgraded to IOS 16.6 the moon thing for do not disturb appeared in all of my devices. There is no way to turn it off. If you touch Focus it says it is on. If you touch the pointer to on it goes to some stuff that makes little sense but absolutely nothing there says turn if off. Don't say go to Control center since there is apparently no thing for that any more. I assume this is a new wonderful feature - that is, leave it on all the time.

If you don't see the Focus button in your Control Center, something is very wrong.

You need to tap on the icon on the Focus button (mine does not say Do Not Disturb as, when I took the screenshot, everything was off). If you don't see that, the first thing I would do is just turn the phone off and turn it back on again.

Then, go into Settings>Focus and tap on each item (e.g. Do Not Disturb, Driving) and make sure that you have deleted everything under "Set a Schedule" and that Smart Activation is turned off.

You might also want to to to Settings>Focus>Share Across Devices and turn that off.
