Start Using Focus Modes

While your iPhone is a fantastic tool, it can also be a very distracting device. Getting bombarded with notifications on a daily basis can be tough, but you can tweak a few settings to make your iPhone help you focus. 

This is thanks to a fairly new feature called Focus. You can create Focus modes for different aspects of your life, such as working, gaming, or spending time with your family. 

Here’s how to create a new Focus mode:

1. Open the Settings app.
2. Scroll down and select Focus.
3. Tap the plus icon in the top right corner of your screen.
4. Choose a default Focus mode, or select Custom to create one from scratch.
5. Now, your Focus mode is created, but you can tap on Customize Focus to change a few settings.
6. Tap on Choose People or Choose Apps to select which contacts or apps can send notifications while you’re in that Focus mode. You can also customize your Home Screen and Lock Screen from here.
7. When you’re done, tap the back button in the top left corner of your screen.

You can create as many Focus modes as you want and schedule them to turn on automatically at a specific time or location or when you’re using a specific app. You can also toggle them on manually from the Focus button in your Control Center.
