Do Not Disturb

Someone informed me that when Do Not Disturb is turned on it is displayed in my messages. Is there way to turn that off in the sense that if and when someone tries to text me they aren't informed that my Do Not Disturb is currently turned on?

Hi there,


Here's how you can turn off Do Not Disturb status sharing:


  1. Open the Settings app
  2. Tap Focus. 
  3. Tap Focus Status.
  4. Turn off Share Focus Status.


This will turn off Focus Status sharing for all Focuses, including Do Not Disturb.
