In Settings > Focus, tap on the Focus mode for which you want to adjust the Home and Lock screen settings.

These aren’t completely new, with custom icon placement and such, but rather a set of Home and Lock screen options. You can do more than just select which people and apps you want to silence in a Focus mode-you can set up entire custom Home and Lock screens. The key to setting up each Focus is choosing which people and apps from which you want to accept notifcations. Set up more or fewer Focus modes as you see fit, or tap Delete Focus on the summary screen if you think you no longer need it.

You’ll see a summary of your choices and can change what you want. Some apps have special notifications that should be acted on right away, and this will let those through even if the app is silenced.Īnd that’s all there is to it.

Finally, you’ll be asked whether you wish to allow “Time-sensitive notifications” or not.

All the others will still deliver their notifications, but they’ll go straight to the notification shade without any sounds or banners.

Then you’ll be asked which apps you want to receive notifications from.

The next screen will ask you which of your contacts you want to allow notifications from.

If you’re creating a new Focus, you’ll get a screen of suggestions (Fitness, Gaming, etc.) or the ability to set a custom Focus with its own name and icon.

Tap the plus sign in the upper right to add a new Focus mode, or tap Set Up under one of the listed modes like Work or Personal.

You may see existing Focus modes like Do Not Disturb or Sleep. Setting up a Focus is straightforward, though a little time consuming.
