How do I keep gaming focus OFF on my iPhone while ON on my Mac?

Focus is weird. I put it ON with gaming on my laptop mac for 1 hour. I find that it stays ON on my iPhone until I manually turn it off, even overnight. I would prefer my Focus to be ON only on my laptop, since popup notifications interfere with game play. How can I prevent the iPhone from simultaneously going into game mode?

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 18

Please follow this path,


iPhone > Settings > Focus > Share Across Devices > disable, if it is off, momentarily turn it on and then back off.


Program focus for each device separately.
