One of the best updates included in Apple's latest version of iOS is the Focus feature, and along with it the ability to share its current status setting with iPhone contacts. Focus lets users hunker down and concentrate on important tasks by giving them the ability to customize and choose which mobile apps to silence temporarily and which ones to receive alerts or notifications from while busy. It also lets other people and apps know when their messages are being muted for the time being.
Focus has a few preset modes that include Do Not Disturb, Personal, Work, Sleep, Fitness, and Driving. Users can also create custom ones if none of those fit the type of tasks they want to fixate on. They can be set up to activate automatically at a prescribed time, at a specific location, or while using certain apps. They also have an additional option to share their Focus status.
