When I first saw the thumbnail and the video, I thought it did come from a creator with a million subscribers. The video quality is insane clean and straight to the point. Keep up the good work.

I appreciate that you explain clearly at a calm pace. Other tech videos are narrated so quickly that I find it difficult to understand and it's stressful. You have a great voice for narration! Please make more iPhone/Mac videos, thank you.

[geoshock]

Fantastic tutorial.
There are very few tutorials that explain things as clearly and with detailed info. Nice pacing as well, btw.

[colin-nekritz]

Great, helpful video. Just what I was looking for, thank you.

[anthonydsouza]

Great video, very informative, is it possible to change ringtone volume with respective focus modes?

[mrich]

Great video, but I have a point of confusion. You select the people that you want to allow notifications from, but then you also allow calls from your favorites. So whose calls get through? Your favorites or the people that you selected? I am trying to only allow calls from Contacts but I get calls from people outside of my contacts. I'm not sure what to do.

Such a great work, Why don’t you post more iPhone tips and tricks, Software updates, it might be helpful for many users ❤

[aaronbush]

Fantastic video. Even when you think you know everything about a feature, there is plenty more to discover. What background are you using?!

[VeraLucky-mhqj]

Hello, great video. Not sure if I missed some info from your video concerning a sleep mode in order to silence all people and all apps with no exceptions.The problem is that previously before going to bed I would just choose a sleep mode on my Apple Watch, and this would disable all my Apple gadgets. I would not receive any phone calls or messages until I disable this function in the morning. Last 2 weeks I am getting calls and messages in the middle of the night ( from all my Apple devices ) even my sleep focus is enabled. Not sure what’s going on. Maybe you can give some advice

[zugzwang_age]

Hey odd question, i worked on shifts schedule. Is there a way to have the watch auto track the sleep ? Or any workaround or tip ?

[christinajin]

HI, I came to this video because I set up my sleep focus pretty much like you but it is ON all the time, on watch and phone. Isn't it supposed to turn on at wind down time and turn off with your alarm in the morning? Why is it always ON? Appreciate anything you can help me with. I have a Apple Watch series 9, iPhone 12 mini and running iOS 17 if that matters

[Nev-xc]

I have an iPad and I don’t have the sleep focus on it, how do I get the sleep focus?

[IcedCoffeeLover]

When creating these focus modes does it block notifications

[streetlife]

I would love the ability to make two sleep focus schedules! Work nights and I get up to feed my dog and go back to sleep, can never get it to track after taking the dog out which is another 4 hours of sleep 😢

[ashi]

Great tips! Will definitely help me work better :)

[MrKvnnTV]

I want to set up that my iPhone automatically switches on specific time from vibrate to silent. What is the easiest way to do this?

[syts]

It is a really messed up process to adjust a lot of screens though. Even if you uncheck the screens they will get mixed up when you try to add widgets to next screen which consequently messes up your other focus mode home screens. Apple should just let us create a screen for the focus modes in the settings. There is no need for check-uncheck process.
