Have you experienced getting bombarded with constant iPhone notifications? Annoying isn't it? Well, Apple's Focus feature on iOS 15 got you on this, and with that, you're one step away from filtering out distractions to "focus" on what really matters most.

To set up the Focus modes, here's what you need to do.

Focus Mode: Why There's a Need to Utilize it

How to Use Focus Setting On Your iPhone

For iPhone users, Focus mode is a game-changer if you want to get rid of distractions that affect your tasks. For this part, you only need to allow alerts that are essential and remove or let's say, mute the rest.

Whether you are working, sleeping, or simply taking it easy, Focus helps your device fit into your rhythm.

How to Enable Focus Mode Step-by-Step

Access the Focus Feature

First, open your Settings app and tap on the Focus tab. You'll find pre-made modes like Sleep, Work, and Personal, which you can customize, or create new ones from scratch.

1. Create or Customize a Focus Mode
2. Tap the + icon in the top-right corner to create a new mode.
3. Choose from options like Driving, Gaming, or Reading, or design a custom mode with your preferred name and icon.

Define your Focus settings

1. Choose who or which apps can reach you.
2. Block some contacts or apps from reaching you. For instance, only permit notifications from the work team and necessary work apps.

Schedule or Automate Your Focus Modes

You can manually activate Focus or schedule it to turn on automatically:

1. Schedule specific times for your Focus mode to enable itself.
2. Let your iPhone switch modes based on your location, app usage, or activity.

Advanced Features to Optimize Your Focus Mode

Share Across Devices

Enable Share Across Devices to sync your Focus settings on all Apple devices logged into your Apple ID. This ensures a seamless experience across your iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Focus Status

Turn on Focus Status and alert others when you silence notifications. For example, using iMessage, contacts will get a message saying their "notifications are silenced." In case of an urgency, though, they can still "Notify Anyway."

Control Center Access

You may turn on Focus immediately from the Control Center:

1. Swipe down at the right-hand corner from the top.
2. Tap Focus and then your preferred mode.
3. Customize the length by tapping such options as "For 1 hour" or "Until I leave this location."

Refining Your Focus Experience

Removing or Editing Focus Modes

To delete a mode you no longer use:

1. Navigate to Settings > Focus.
2. Tap Select the mode then Delete Focus
3. You can always add new ones or modify ones you have depending on what your needs might be.

Using Siri to Control Remotely

Activate or deactivate Focus modes with a few words to Siri. Such as, "Hey Siri, turn on Work Focus" and Siri will do it for you.

Why You Should Love Focus Mode

Focus mode removes digital clutter and boosts productivity and awareness. Whether you are working on an item, spending time with the family, or winding down before bed, Focus prevents disruptions unless absolutely necessary.
