This useful app can keep unwanted distraction away. It is way too easy to be pulled from your work by notifications and other distractions. In order to help you keep your attention  where you want it, Apple has added new Focus features to iOS 15.

When you first start to set Focus up, it can seem a little daunting. There are a lot of choices, and a lot of ways can tweak it. In fact, it may take a while before you get the combination of settings that works best for your lifestyle. But in the end, it will be worth it. It  mean that you won't be sideline during times you need to concentrate, and you won't be bothered by irrelevant notifications when you've got other activities in hand.

Focus Profile:

In order to use the profiles, you need to set them up to fit your needs. I listed the ones available at the beginning of this article;  In order to get used to them, let's try setting up two: personal and driving.

When you tap on a profile that has not yet been set up, you are presented with a set of screens that walk you through the initial processing, including which people and apps should be allowed to notify you when the Focus is active.

After that, you are dropped into the Focus page for that profile, which will be similar to the Do Not Disturb setup described above. In Personal, you can not only tweak the allowed notifications but decide whether you want to share your Focus status, hide the notifications on your home screen or lock screen, or create an automation that will turn t on and off at a certain time, in a certian place, or with a certain app.

Some of the other presets are more specific. For example, when I created a Focus for driving, the opening page of the wizard told me that it was silencing alerts and notifications while I was driving; that it would turn on automatically when i was driving; and that it world arrange auto-replay to let people know why i wasn't responding to notification.

And the Driving focus page had a few difference as well. Allowed notifications include people but no apps. There is an auto-reply option that lets you edit the message that will be sent to people who try to contact you while the Focus is on. And you can choose how the app will know you're driving; automatically, if the CarPlay app is activated, if the phone is connected to a car's Bluetooth or when you turn it automatically.

If none of the presets work for you, you can create a custom profile by tapping on the plus sign in the upper right corner of the main Focus screen and choosing Custom. You will be asked to name your new profile and to choose a color and icon to represent it. After that, the process is pretty much the same as for personal, except that you can also tweak the name and appearance of the Focus in the profile's screen.

Setup your Profiles:

When you first open the Focus Page in your settings, you'll see a list of several profiles, starting with the basic Do Not Disturb and then going on to personal, Sleep, and work. If you tap on the plus sign in the upper right corner of the screen. you'll find the others, including Driving, Fitness, Gaming, Mindfulness and Readings. If none of those suit, you can create a custom profile.

In addition, there is a toggle that lets you can share the profiles across your various Apple Devices. We'll look at some of the profiles in a moment, but let's start by tapping on Do Not Disturb. 

FOCUS :



You access Focus mode via your control center (swipe down from the upper right corner). You'll see the FOCUS button with a moon icon next to it. If you tap the icon, then the main DO NOT DISTURB profile will be active. If you tap anywhere else in the button. you'll see a selection of other profiles that you can activate.

Tap on the three dos to the right of each button, and you can set the length of time you want that Focus profile to be active. Or You can tap the settings button to tweak the settings for that focus. But perhaps the best way to start is to go to setting > Focus, where you can set up all the various Focus Profiles you are Planning to use.

DO NOT DISTURB :



The first thing you'll see on the Do Not Disturb page is the toggle to turn the mode on and off. After that, there are a variety of filters that you can tweak to determine when and how Focus will be set up.

Notification Allowed:

Focus lets you specify people or apps that can continue to notify you even if you have Do Not Disturb active. For example, you many want to allows calls to come in from family members, or notifications from your work slacks.

To make these exceptions, tap on the people or apps box to get to the allowed notification page.
