I'm attempting to remove all focus settings in my iphone 17 but it keeps assigning Do Not Disturb mode. How do I remove that setting or at least disengage it? I rarely want to use that mode due to the type of work I do. I do not want to miss any communications (text, email, phone, etc.) as it may be critical. Any suggestions? I have removed all other "focus" modes but can't seem to get the "Do Not Disturb" inactive.
You can't delete Settings>Focus>Do Not Disturb, though you can delete all of the others.
If you go to Do Not Disturb, go down to "Set a Schedule" and make sure absolutely nothing is set.
If your iPhone has Apple Intelligence enabled, make sure yo have "Intelligent Breakthrough & Silencing" turned off as well.

Three primary factors trigger the automatic activation of the Focus modes (Including the "Do Not Disturb" Mode). Users have the flexibility to deactivate each of these automations based on their individual preferences.
Elaborated below are comprehensive explanations for each of these three triggers.
1. Automatic Activation:
