Do Not Disturb automatically turned on at bootup of iPhone. Don't want this.

Do Not Disturb is shown on the lok screen each time I turn on the iPhone 17. This started about a month ago. Each time I have to turn it off. I don't use Do Not Disturb at all and want it no longer automatically turned on at iPhone bootup.

Current update is ios 26.6.1

iPhone 17, iOS 26

You likely have some Focus setting enabled. See this to learn more about Focus Settings on iPhone --> Set up a Focus on iPhone - Apple Support

Are you by any chance accidentally engaging the Action Button, the top left button on the left side of your iPhone? Of you don't need to mute your phone much, you might want to change the Action Button to No Action if by chance you're accidentally engaging it. You can do that in Settings > Action Button.


If that's not a possibility, you should next contact Apple Support. If you're in the US, you can call Apple at: 800-MY-APPLE
