Hello Tiphaniesimpson,


We understand that you have everything set accurately, however, you're not able to receive notifications. You also mentioned not having Focus enabled on your iPhone. To clarify, do you have another Apple device? If so, do you have Focus enabled on that device? We ask because this could feature can sync across all your Apple devices.


Keep your Focus settings up to date across all your Apple devices

You can use the same Focus settings on all your Apple devices where you’re signed in with the same Apple ID.

Go to Settings  > Focus, then turn on Share Across Devices.

Note: Focus filters don’t get synced across devices—they’re only on the device where you set them up.

If that does not apply to you, we suggest that you restart your iPhone. This may seem like a simple step but it can often resolve several issues: Restart your iPhone


If the issue persists, we suggest that you reach out to Apple directly. they will be able to look further into this with you:

Have a wonderful day!
