Stop Apple telling people my Focus status.

I want to use the Focus options in ios but Apple now tells everyone what my status is. i.e. notifications are turned off because I'm driving. I don't want people to know this information. I have spoken to Apple Support but they don't know how to enable Focus, but at the same time not broadcast my status. I'd rather not have people know I'm driving, or have do not disturb, or that I'm sleeping whatever. This seems to be Apple violating my privacy and if I'm not mistaken be a violation of GDPR.



iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 18
