Hi jayy_peeee,


If you haven't done so yet, restart your iPhone. Although simple, this step can help correct some unexpected issues. It's also a good idea to make sure your iPhone is running the latest iOS version, since this can help with overall performance: Update your iPhone or iPad

If an update is available, be sure to create a backup before installing it.

1. Back up your device using iCloud or your computer.
2. Plug your device into power and connect to the internet with Wi-Fi.
3. Go to Settings > General, then tap Software Update.
4. If you see more than one software update option available, choose the one that you want to install.
5. Tap Install Now. If you see Download and Install instead, tap it to download the update, enter your passcode, then tap Install Now. If you don't know your passcode, learn what to do.

If needed, there's some additional information on using Focus here: Use Focus on your iPhone or iPad


If you need more help, reply with the answers to these questions:

  • Are you unable to share Focus status with one contact or multiple?
  • Have you ever been able to use the feature successfully? If so, do you recall any changes that were made before the issue began?


Regards.
