Sleep Focus Lock Screen is blank on my iPad and iPhone

I just started using Focus to help me wind down for sleep. I thought I set up the Lock Screen to show the moon, but it comes up blank… well, maybe the moon is there but it’s very faint. Did I set this up wrong or is this how it’s supposed to work? It does this on both my phone and iPad.

How do I disable blurred Lock Screen in Sleep Focus mode on iPhone? I have a sleep focus setting that blurs my Lock Screen when I turn it on, there is no setting in the focus part of the setting to turn off the blur or when you tap and hold on the screen as well. How do I stop it from blurring. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Sleep mode settings crash Further to Focus settings crash! - Apple Community which is yet to be resolved… I am and have been experiencing this same issue for the past 6 months. After a number of IOS updates (currently 17.4.1) this has still been an ongoing issue on my iPhone. Accessing any focus mode in settings apart from “Sleep” is fine and works as expected. However when clicking Settings > Focus > Sleep, you are immediately faced with a black screen with a small whirling icon in the middle. This screen can last ranging from 1 second to 2 minutes. After eventually disappearing you are no longer able to access the settings app at all without the same black screen reappearing. Even a restart of the iPhone doesn’t fix this. The only way I have found to regain access to the settings app, is by attempting multiple times to long press the settings app on the home screen and use one of the 4 shortcut options. Using my iPad to remove the sleep focus completely and then reset up on my iPhone still doesn’t fix the issue. The reason I require this function to work, and the reason I am unable to get around this by setting up the focus on the iPad is an app that I’d like to bypass the sleep focus and still notify me isn’t available on the iPad and therefore not an option to be selected in the app exclusion list. This is becoming evermore frustrating each time this happens and not something I feel someone spending over £1,000 on a phone should have to be faced with for such an extended period of time where multiple updates have been done to supposedly fix bugs like this. Any help towards getting this resolved would be greatly appreciated.

Can’t get rid of Focus Mode (Sleep Bed Icon) in iOS Status Bar The bed icon which should indicate that I’m in Sleep Focus Mode is always visible in the iOS Status Bar on my iPhone 12 Pro Max running iOS 18.5 even though no Focus Mode is activated. How do I get rid of it? Why are there some many bugs in iOS 18.5? Just look at Luke Mianis latest video where he showcases some of them. [Edited by Moderator]

The moon appears to be there, albeit faint. Is it wallpaper?
