Focus is no longer blocking Life360

I have this same issue too! I think this is happening because you and I both have the focus set to allow certain people and those people are also in our Life350 circle. That’s my hunch. After a recent Life360 notification I think when a notification occurs it shows as a notification about that specific person (with the profile picture) instead of just a general notification from the app. I think this happens for other apps too

Hey Focusnolongerblockinglife360,

Did you create the Focus on your Apple Watch or are you mirroring your iPhone Focus? If you’re mirroring the Focus on your iPhone, make sure that Life360 icon doesn’t appear in the App section: Allow or silence notifications for a Focus on iPhone - Apple Support

If it’s there, remove it and see if Life360 can send notifications now.

Please let us know the results when you're able.

All the best.

Hello Focusnolongerblockinglife360,

As it does only seem to affect this particular app, and you've already worked with Apple SUpport, we do recommend reaching out for support from Life360 to resolve the issue. This article goes over how to contact an app developer: How to contact an app developer - Apple Support

Cheers!

Hi Focusnolongerblockinglife360,

Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities! Since you're getting notifications on your Apple Watch although the Focus is set, we suggest ensuring your Apple Watch's software is also updated to the latest version. Outdated software can cause things to misbehave.

1. Make sure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
2. Make sure that your Apple Watch is at least 50 percent charged.
3. Make sure that your iPhone is connected to Wi-Fi.
4. On your iPhone, open the Apple Watch app, then tap the My Watch tab. 
5. Tap General > Software Update.

6. Download the update. If asked for your iPhone passcode or Apple Watch passcode, enter it. 

7. Wait for the progress wheel to appear on your Apple Watch. It could take from several minutes to an hour for the update to complete. 

Find these steps in the article Update your Apple Watch.

Hope that helps!

I thought this too, however my focus list specifically does not include one individual who just bypassed my current focus mode (that allows no app notifications including time sensitive) so I have no idea why 360 is still alerting me. But there is one master OFF switch for the app. However I appreciate knowing when my wife arrives and leaves work lol
