Do Not Disturb - Until I Leave the Location option is not available

Installing iOS 18 on my iPhone 15 Pro Max may have caused Do Not Disturb - Until I Leave this

Location to no longer be an option in Focus in the Control Panel. I only see “For 1 hour’ and “Until tomorrow morning”. When I push ‘settings’ I see options for notifications but no way to recover the missing Do Not Disturb - Until I Leave this Location. System Services has the following turned on

1.) Compass Calibration, 2.) Emergency Call & SOS, 3.) Find My iPhone, 4.)

Satellite Connection and 5’) Share My Location.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 18

I figured it out. It was a selection in System Services. In System Services one must have the "Alerts & Shortcuts Automations" turned on for the Do Not Disturb until I leave this location to be a visible choice in Focus. Thanks to all for your suggestions.

I see that option in Control Center on my iPhone. I don't know why it would be missing on your iPhone, though if you haven't restarted the iPhone, you can give that a try.

If not and you just want to get it set back up, try this: Go to Settings -> Focus -> Do Not Disturb. Tap Add Schedule. You'll see an option for Location. Tap that and set the location you want there. I don't know if that will get it back into Control Panel, but at least it should allow you to set it up.

Regards.

Do you have Wi-Fi on? It is needed for location services to work correctly. It must be on, even if you are not connected to a Wi-Fi network.

Yes. I was not on a Wi-Fi network at my dentist's office when I first noticed it was missing, but the Wi-Fi was on. And currently I am on my home Wi-Fi network and I am having the same problem. Thanks for the info.

Thanks Varjak. I tried rebooting both the phone and my watch. I still can only see "For 1 hour" and "Until the evening" under Do Not Disturb. Thanks for the Add Schedule suggestion. That would allow me to set a specific location IF it worked! I tested it and after tapping a specific location it did not register. I think the issue is something related to Location/System Services.

Yes. Wi-Fi is on in all situations. It doesn't matter if I is currently connected to a Wi-Fi or not. The choices for Focus/Until I Leave This Situation is missing and not available. Thanks.
