How to turn off Focus mode on iPhone 14 Pro Max?

Where are you trying to turn off the focus exactly?

To turn off an active Focus, go to Control Center, tap on the Focus icon, then on the focus you want to turn off.

An Active focus will have "On" or "On Until..." under the name. If no Focus there has that, then they are all turned off. Also the Focus icon will just say "Focus" if no Focus is turned on. If a Focus is turned on, the focus icon in control center will show the name of that Focus.

On my iPhone 14 Pro Max, I just updated it to the new system before the iOS 26. Whenever I try to turn the focus off, it gives me a menu of different focuses to use for specific length of time, but not an option for “off”. Does anyone know where this is located? I’d like to turn it off. I’ve already selected people who can contact me even though the focus is on. Please help.

In Control Center, tap on the icon next to "Do Not Disturb" (or whatever the name of the focus is). Don't tap on the name. Don't press and hold. If you just tap on the icon, it will turn off the current focus. The word will change "Focus." That's how you know it's off.
