Thank you for this! I have ocd and I’m very particular. I’ve been trying to come up with more productive ways to reduce my anxiety and improve my productivity rather than keeping my phone in dnd for 90%of the day. Thanks for the tips. I’ll remix a few to my own lifestyle.😊
Hey Dave, I’ve been watching your videos for years and you do a awesome job. Just wanted to let you know that. But this time I have one quick question… How can a blind person quickly see what focus mood they are in?
First, glad you like my videos. Second, to answer your question you can use Siri, but strangely you can't say "What focus mode is currently on." It would be smart of Apple to make that feature "a thing" because as you have pointed it, it's critical to the visually impaired. What you can say is "Hey, Siri! Turn fitness focus off" or "turn work focus on."
David. Great video. I've been wanting to use the Focus so this was most timely. Worked through all the problems I had except one. Any idea why the schedule option to turn on at a specific location is not found even though that address works in Apple Maps? Thanks. Keep up the great work.
Hey David, when I set up and turned on sleep mode on my watch, it also shows up on my other devices like MacBook and iPad, how do I turn it off on those devices?

Do you have a clever use for Focus Modes? Let me know about it!
Excellent video, David! Hope you're doing well in sunny Palm Springs!
It's cooled off and now we're having highs in the 80s so I'm not complaining!

Great timing! I had figuring this out on my to-do list.
Hey David that was excellent! So many uses of Focus modes that I haven’t considered! Thanks so very much
Very useful and informative! Thank you👍🏽
Glad it was helpful!
Another great video Dave!
"Anita Banana"?(5:30) Sorry, out of bananas, want an apple?
That has got to be an old knock knock joke or something.😁
I'm glad you get my humor
Always informative and entertaining to watch. Many thanks ~
Glad you enjoyed it

In my experience as a VoiceOver user, I can locate the name of the active focus in the status bar.

Anyone else that has this problem... Try turning on Location-Based Services in System Services. It worked for me.
When using the focus modes when you create them does it silence everything
Any way to allow notifications from Microsoft Teams while using my Work focus? iPhone doesn’t allow me.
Hey David, when I set up and turned on sleep mode on my watch, it also shows up on my other devices like MacBook and iPad, how do I turn it off on those devices?
You would want to disable the feature called share across devices
How do you get the auto sleep widget?
You have to download the Auto Sleep app to your iPhone from the App Store and then it becomes available as a widget
When I get into my daily Bible/spiritual routine every morning I use a focus mode to start my morning with my higher power or in my case, God.
I don't accept notifications from many sources. Waste of time.
Sorry, but Focus Mode just makes my anxiety worse. Do Not Disturb is good enough.
