Since upgrading to iOS 17 (now on 17.03) when the scheduled sleep / wake alarm goes off the focus modes doesn’t change. Sleep focus schedule in health app is set to the same time but this feature is broken. iPhone 15 Pro Max. I’ve seen 100s of similar issues raised in iOS 16 as well but I only had it when I got my new iPhone.
iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 17
I have had this problem for about a week. Sleep Focus never turns off in the morning. Updating the phone did not help. Even if I delete the Sleep Focus and create it again, it automatically shows the same schedules created previously and turns on (even at a time when it's not supposed to be on).
A couple of things that might be related to this:
I had a phone call with Apple, and after deleting the Sleep Focus (which did not help), they suggested resetting all configurations on the phone, which I was not willing to do.
Since it seemed to be related to the time schedules, I tried to delete them. I have one for weekdays and a different one for weekends. However, I couldn't find how to delete any of them. So, I edited the weekdays one (which was actually the one that wasn't working) so that it would only be on ON SUNDAYS. This automatically made the weekend one change, and it now only turns on on Saturdays.
Then I created a new one for the weekdays. After that, I changed the weekend one to also include Sundays, which made the 'offending' schedule disappear.
Now it seems to be working well. Sorry for my non-native English; I hope this is understandable and can help somebody.
Yes mine too. I’ve a 15 pro max updated iOS and today sleep on at 8:30. Set to turn off 5:39
iphone 15 pro with apple watch 9 and it started happening when i changed my watch.
Same. Updated to 17.4 and watch to 10.4 and sleep won’t turn off. All settings are correct but sleep mode is constant. Updating made it worse.
This morning this popped up on my iPhone, so I’m guessing I’ll need to take it in to an Apple Store. So frustrating.
Any updates on this? I went from 14 Pro to 15 Pro Max a week ago and this is when the problem started. Currently running on 17.4.1
Commenting to commiserate- I also upgraded and now have the same annoying problem. Bit ridiculous that it’s still ongoing after all this time and so many people mentioning it. What’s going on, Apple?
This issue has continued with iOS 17.4.1 — apparently no fix yet.
Same issue here, so annoying, have missed important calls because of it..
Just updated to 17.4.1 and phone, iPad , wife’s phone all doing the same thing. I’m glad my daughter’s phone didn’t update it’s the only one to wake us up!
When are they fixing this. Ever since I hit my s9 watch my sleep focus keeps turning back on on my phone.
It started for me too when I switched to a new phone. When I stop the alarm on the watch, it still goes on the phone and sleep mode stays on on all devices including MBP and iPad.
Same, same. Clearly a bug with this iOS. Hoping they’ll get it fixed in next release.
I've been having the save issue ever since I updated to 17.5.1. I have not found any solution to this problem.
Thanks for this! It worked. I was so frustrated.
