iPhone Focus modes offer advanced notification control beyond Do Not Disturb

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

While Silent mode mutes sound, Do Not Disturb blocks all notifications. Focus modes, introduced with iOS 15, provide highly customizable options for specific situations like work or sleep, allowing users to select which apps and contacts can send alerts. iOS 16 also introduced 'Reduce Interruptions,' an AI-powered Focus mode that intelligently filters notifications.
