One thing I can’t figure out. I have a Personal focus and I’ve set it to a schedule, for example the entire weekend other than the times it’s in Sleep focus. The problem I’m trying to solve is that when I get I’m my car, I have a “connect to CarPlay” automation that sets it to car focus mode. But when I disconnect from the car, I wanted it to automatically go back to Personal focus by default, or whatever the focus mode is set to based on my schedule. But it seems like it just turns off focus altogether, and doesn’t follow the schedule. So like the only automatic triggers for the schedule are when you actually cross the start time and end time, it doesn’t seem to default back to that if you’re in the middle of that timeframe.
It’s an amazing feature that becomes even more powerful when combined with shortcuts, for example if you usually forget to check on what grocery items to buy, you can add a grocery focus (if you have a grocery store that you always go to you can make the focus turn on once you go to it automatically), and using shortcuts you can make your phone send a “what should I buy from the grocery?”message to your roommate/partner or family member automatically once the focus is turned on.
As a medically blind person I recently added a Train focus so that I can screen shot my ticket information (seat reservation) to be lock screen wallpaper so that when my booked passenger assistance asks me for that information (though they should have it to hand) I just have it to hand quickly for them. It saves me from opening my ticket and finding the information for them.
So you can change the theme? Shortcuts are really bad as i currently have some and everytime instead of opening the app directly it shows a black screen and then goes to the app that will always restart. Cuatomization is available but not that great on iphone.
I use focus mode daily. There's one thing I miss: since I use a dual SIM on my iPhone, I would appreciate it if incoming calls could be filtered based on the chosen SIM...
I use focus for a couple things, but two in particular is to have it turn on automatically using location at church or a recurring doctor’s appointment. Very helpful.
Another great, informational video! Thank you. I had gotten a bit frustrated with Focus mode, but this helped a lot. I have created one for my volunteer activities, and will probably create one for church, which is the primary time I only want notifications from a few certain people. Since I'm retired, I don't have to worry about work differences any more, but I will let my working friends know how easy it is.
When I click Home Screen when creating a focus, I am not given the option to Create a New one. I just get to choose from 3, which are the three normal home screens I have when not using a focus. Any idea what's going on? Tried it repeatedly.
Started using a work mode now, it certainly helps with distractions on both Laptop and iphone - I have it scheduled 9-12 2-5, so at least I can use my phone in "normal mode" during lunchtime, knowing that when I get back to work the phone flips back into work mode without any need for pressing buttons.. Really enjoying your tutorials here.
Hi there. Very informative but I have a couple of questions. I'm on an iPhone14 Pro Max running 17.4.1. At 8:58 you show the you can 'Create a New Page' for the Home Page - I don't get this option ? Also I'm trying to set up a focus mode to enable when I leave a location (Home) but it only allows me to set up when I arrive. Is there a way to change this.? Trying to use a shortcut doesn't work as, irrespective if I set the shortcut to run automatically, I still get asked. Any solutions would be welcomed
I notice that on my iPadPro focus setup, I can create a new lock screen but for the HOME screens I can only choose from the existing pages. There is no create new HOME screen on my iPad. Thanks! Your videos are the best.
I just thought of an idea for a future video of yours, that I think will be great for Mac users ... I always struggle with the differences between Stage manager / Mission Control / Opening apps in the top bar (when swiping 4 fingers up) and having apps open as "Windows" and so on.. So it'll really be awesome if you make such a video at some point. Cheers and thank you! 🙏
Is there a way to turn on a focus mode by a calendar event? For example if I have a meeting scheduled in the calendar app, can that activate a “meetings” focus mode?
Thanks for helping me to understand what the ‘focus’ thing is all about. Ive got to say that I’d be quite worried if I had to completely separate my life from my work, if I was ever in a situation where a friend couldn’t call me because I was at work I’d be seriously looking at working elsewhere.
I’ve only just recently unlocked the power of focus modes. So far my only complaint is that reminders and notes can’t be split between focus mode. Being able to have personal reminders and work reminders would be useful, I guess you can install a separate app JUST for one kind of reminder though.
I have been using focus mode for a few years now. I love this feature! I have one for work, gaming, personal, and exercise. At my work, many colleagues also have an iPhone and never use the Focus feature. I think it's a shame because they did invest in other software to do stuff that Focus does for free. So I have been trying to convince them to use Focus instead because it also works better
Can you group the contacts so you don’t have to select individual people to include or exclude calls from? So a group which has all your work people another for friends another for family and another for key people for argument sake?
I use the option to not silence favorite contacts (so only my close family, the schools, and my friendly neighbours can get through during work focus) mode. if i add a contact to favorites they get through without me tinkering the individual contacts in focus settings. I just checked: the groups that are in the contacts are automatically offered to choose from when allowing calls - so that is exactly what you want.
Thank you for this video! For way too long I just used "focus" to silence notifications, I always wanted personalized screens and now I finally managed to get there... well I got personalized homescreen but I can't figure out how to personalize the dock 😥 I get that I can't create a homescreen without an app like floating above the dock in the "grid" but I can't figure out how to manage the dock to change according to the different focus modes I tried changing it through the settings app under the focus tab and also tried it while creating the different homescreen (adding the apps I want in the dock while being in a specific "focus") Then there's also the problem that I doesn't let iMessage know I'm in a specific focus mode although I toggled the first option in setting -> iMessage -> focus ON and just like you mentioned in you video in settings -> focus -> focus status -> share focus status ON (as well as the focus modes underneath) I'd be very thankful for any help!
Is there further clarity around the work mode section? 1. I choose 5 people I allow to contact me. 2. If I now go to the allowed apps section and don’t add/allow any apps does that mean the 5 people cannot contact me?
Your videos always make my day, and I have really picked up so many things. Thanks ever so much for your exemplary work. I'll definitely give focus modes a try. Do you plan a "how to" video on how you create such a video? I get you are using a teleprompter, but always wonder how you get the timing right so that your screen recording matches the flow and rhythm of your words so smoothly.
Yeah, I definitely need to continue utilizing this more. I have it set up currently for sleep mode and I love that feature. Changes my background my apps has my timer automatically turned on. It’s fantastic. I need to do this more.
One could instead of adding a widget, use an icon for each of your two foci. It uses the space of two icons instead of four. It would be nice for a shortcut to toggle on/off as well! Thank you for the great explanation!!!
Superb, as ever. Always look forward to the notification for these videos and enjoy the way you explain things. I'm on the Patreon thing too and look at the tutorial after to properly learn it as best I can, being visually impaired. Keey up the good work.
Hi Luv the channel you based in the UK? anyway I think it was you who did a instruction on using siri to take a picture with your iphone camera? if so could you link to the video? if not I want to use my iphone to take multiple pack shots I have a desktop stand and lights. I need both hands to quickly display the item . so I need an ability to take a picture. With all the people that would take there own pack shots if you havnt done a video like this could be a good idea ?? keep up the great work G
Do you know if it's possible to hide the rounded rectangle that wraps the apps in the dock? I mean in iphones. I hope my english makes some sense. Thanks.
This is brilliant, now I can use focus mode for the apps I really use, now I use the App Library for all the others apps. Thank you big time. I have also learnt how useful the app library is.
My one and only focus mode is zero notifications, silent mode, no icons and silent all callers except a few family members… and it’s on all the time. I check notifications on my time, you can leave me a voicemail, I detest random noises and I can spotlight apps because if I’m unaware of apps on my phone they don’t need used.
Wow! This is such a great video. This is so useful and never knew its potential. You just earned a new subscriber! Eager to learn some more tips and tricks 🙏
i enjoy your videos so much and also your newsletter, i would join you channel but i am on the bottom of income due to illness so i only can say thank you for sharing your knowledge for free too 🤗🤗🤗
Can anyone help Every app or short cut I create in a focus mode adds that same app or short cut to my main home page even if I already have that app. Apple are unable to help.
I have sleep mode set up for every night a week but what I want is that if I’m out of an evening I want sleep mode not to come on so basically location based, anyone got any ideas?
I’m not sure of a better way, but if I need a certain mode outside of my schedule, I’ll just say, “Hey Siri, enable ‘personal focus,” or something like that
I invigilate exams - I have a location triggered focus (for two campuses) that silences the phone and limits people able to contact me to the school exam officer and other invigilators.
I think it is pretty dumb that apple does not give an option where you can have all your notifications. Like one way or the other you have to select if you want your notifications to be silences when the phone is locked or always, there is no toggle to simply turn off that particular feature. I would love to use focus modes after watching your video Tom but this is pretty dumb... I need a few people like my sick grandma to be able to call me anytime she needs me... so i cannot have my notifications silenced :(( btw great video and to the point explanation as always :)) I found last week's newsletter quite fascinating tho! Keep em comin!
I made a work focus mode screen and was so happy till I swiped left and the apps screen is still there showing all of my apps available. The whole idea is to make it hard to get to my non-work related apps. This feature is 100% useless for my needs
I never believed in such separation and I am not using modes and gestures on my Android phone either. I am working from home, why couldn't I check a few Facebook posts or messages sent from friends? If I don't want to get distracted from work, I just read them later. Your video is great and a lot of work, life is just not like that, in my opinion. Maybe I'd use it the other way around, shutting down work related stuff after work hours.
iPhone 15 Pro Max firmware 17.4.1 and Focus Mode Sleep has a bug that does not turn off the SILENT BELL once morning comes and Focus Mode Sleep turns OFF. 😢
Nope, I needed to fill up my phone storage for a video a while back, and big games seemed to be the quickest way to do it! I don't get the time to play any games these days. On the rare occasion when I do, I play on my PS5.
@ProperHonestTech At 17:02 th-cam.com/video/5dOwc1u-C34/w-d-xo.htmlsi=kDHENj46qMJqul2b&t=1022 you mention being able to have icons only available for specific focus modes. I have an iPhone 12 mini with iOS 17.4.1, I haven't been able to replicate this function as shown, are you able to provide further detail on this please :-) Appreciate your guides and the effort you put into these videos 🙂
I really like your videos and I know you need to earn a living by sponsors however, seems a bit too much? I thought we didn't need anymore security when we use apple products? Am i wrong?
Sponsors allow me to offer free content, without hiding it behind a paywall. I promote only products and brands that I believe in. Does that mean ever viewer needs everything I promote? No. But for those who do, the offers are there. The security suite offers some services that many Mac users could get value from, like I mentioned in the video.
This is hyper super confusing feom Apple. Not the way you explain it- just the whole thing is a nightmare. Added apps now cant get back into adding more apps. Just about everything about focus is a complete mess🥴, creates pages of apps I don’t want unless in that focus mode, edit default screen and deletes widgets from other focus modes. A mess mate. They need to do a lot better than this for folk that have 50+ apps. Ok if you have a few apps but just not practical.

Great idea, I need to be on the ball to as I am a V.I person. Thank you.
You are an expert at this man! Really enjoy your clear-cut explanations in your videos.
People who often cry about lack of customization in iOS have no idea how powerful Shortcuts and Focus Modes are.
👆🏻 Exactly this!
Not a thing anymore; they mostly claimed this, rightly so, before Apple introduced shortcuts and widgets
People who cry about device customization in general need to get a grip.
So you can change the theme? Shortcuts are really bad as i currently have some and everytime instead of opening the app directly it shows a black screen and then goes to the app that will always restart. Cuatomization is available but not that great on iphone.
@@davypelletieronly cause you dont find a use for it doesnt mean you have to blame creative people
Is there any possibility to trigger the focus whenever an event of a specific calendar happens? That would be very useful.

7:21 It’s applicable to all iPhones. Very helpful for Sleep Focus Modes as it lowers the brightness of the lock screen when checking the time.

Can you set up focused mode in iPhone with duo SIM cards, using a different phone number for each mode?
Yes whether it’s an e-sim or a china version with two sim slots.
Absolutely the best video on Focus tool. Thanks so much.

It's too complicated for my brain.... no focus here. lol I lived without focus mode so far just fine, probably won't need it anyway.

Since updated from 17.1 to 17.2 i think, work focus mode doesn’t work anymore…the 17.3.1 didn’t resolve it neither
I found the whole thing to be so unreliable it’s really not worth the bother.

Great video. This is something I already do with shortcuts and widgets, works really well.
Extremely informative 😊, I am intrigued as to how you grouped those app icons into groups with borders surrounding them 18:30?
I have my phone set up to turn on my work focus whenever I open the app "focus". Takes care of those distractions.
Such high quality videos thank you
Is it possible to only allow certain albums/folders to be visible when in a focus mode?
Can I include third party apps in my focus mode settings?
So very helpful. You provide the BEST tutorials! ❤

They need to do a lot better than this for folk that have 50+ apps. Ok if you have a few apps but just not practical.
Focus mode is far less complex when, like me, you’re retired 🤣
