Driving Focus keep turning itself OFF after manual activatin

I use this focus status solely for the auto-reply because for some reason Apple refuses to add auto-reply features to other focuses.

CONSTANTLY returning to driving focus status set on iPhone set with auto replies and turns off automatically for no reason. It is set to Manuel.

This question has been asked in other threads before then the thread disabled (annoying) because of no resolution yet dozens of people are marking it “me too.”

*Is Driving focus motion based?* Does the phone shut it off if it senses the phone still?

How to fix this ?

iPhone XS

Hello Focusmode2,

Documentation on the Driving Focus can be found here: Use the Driving Focus on your iPhone to concentrate on the road It is clearly not stated if the Driving Focus disables when you are no longer in motion. However, see the screenshot provided below:

If a Focus isn't working as expected, we would start by making sure the iPhone is updated for the latest fixes: Update your iPhone or iPad Then test if the issue continues to occur.

If you have feedback you'd like to provide Apple, then the best place to do so would be here: Product Feedback - Apple

Keep in mind, Apple reviews all feedback, but you may not hear back on any given. Apple does not request unsolicited ideas.

Take care.

Thanks you for the reply

the driving focus turns off by itself when I’m in motion then I turn it on manually again then it turns it self off while driving while in motion. If I manually turn it on again it still turns it self off when stoped at a light or traffic

This is a screen shot even turned of device sync as I read that could cause this issue

any ideas ?
