I have selected turn off do not disturb as I DO NOT want it to auto reply. I have auto reply turned off as well, yet it continues to send a message when I’m driving and receive a text. I have tried turning it on and back off, I have tried deleting it. Nothing works to stop it from auto-replying. Please help!!! I have an iPhone 13, not 5s like it states.
iPhone 5s
Hello Speducator,
Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Do Not Disturb is a separate focus than Driving. Verify it is not switching to driving focus automatically while in the car and that is responding to your messages:
"Turn on the Driving Focus automatically
Additional details can be found here: Use the Driving Focus on your iPhone to concentrate on the road
If the issue persists, can you provide a few more details? Which device and OS version are you currently using? Also, which exact Focus are you using?
Cheers!

Hey Speducator,
The Get Support link takes you to the Apple Support page. You'll need to select the device you're using and you can choose the "Or, tell us in your own words" option to describe what's occurring.
Take care.
Hi Speducator,
It sounds like your settings are correct and iOS is updated as well. We recommend contacting Apple Support to look into this further here: Get Support.
Take care.
Hi, yes, I have it set to activate manually and even tried turning it to others and back to activate manually. I have auto-reply set to “no one” yet it still auto-replies and activates whenever I get a text from someone even though I don’t activate it manually. I even tried deleting the driving focus altogether and that didn’t work either. It is an iPhone 13 and using iOS 16.6.
When I click get support it brings me back to articles which aren’t helpful and then to here. How do I bypass that and get an actual person at Apple Support?
