Hi - please make a video with instructions for new iPhones. My iPhone 13 uses Focus and I don't understand how to set it up.

[dwayneperkins]

i have a later phone version I would like to know how to set it up

[mymortgageprofessor]

How does work for the latest version of Ios?

[toofunnyordie]

Excellent quality, easy to understand. right on.

[gigiontube]

Thank you for this.
I have a question and hope you can answer this.
When I send a message after reading it I see an attached heart to my message, symbol for loving the message, or ok sign etc.
So. How those are sent because these don’t appear as a reply-message to my message, but attached directly to my message. Hope you understand what I’m talking about and reply. TYIA !

It's only to all contacts, how do I give an auto reply to someone not in your address book or if someone just texts it doesn't respond with an automatic text response?

[papagen]

brilliant! i'm going to use it on my work iphone when out of office.

[DeshonnaBrown]

But I have an updated iPhone 11 so the new system has focus on there so should I take the focus off so I can just have the do not disturb because we’re focused I don’t see that option anywhere

This is awesome!!! Thank you so much!! Can this work when on vacation in area with no cell coverage ( on a ship at sea?). I’m thinking probably not…. Any ideas on how to do this when at sea? Thank you so much!!!

@Teach mom how hi can you please update this for IOS 15?

[DJCayne]

It works but it keeps sending a second text with a disclaimer. How do you avoid sending that and only send your auto reply text?

[maryvalsin]

Will this feature work even if they are not in your favorites list

[rockonmadonna]

How does one get calls to ring while using auto text reply, please? Thanks!

[brentwejrowski]

Did they remove this? I don't see this on my phone.

Help sos - when amazon sends text that requests you responding and the iphone 7SE flashes the text with code but when you click to read message - where does the manual typing of the code need to be submitted? Also could you actually respond back with step- by-step instructions to respond to amazon's proof of human they are wanting - because there is not an area of blanks to type in the number for the code/ so how do you go to that next step to access the link that is sent and then is that when you get a button to confirm your desire to communicate with Amazon? Please address this for us brand new user to an apple?

[samanthasieber]

Does it automatically send that second text about pushing through for an emergency?

[Patrick-Mickk]

It’s totally different on iOS 15 and I cand figure if this can still be done or not. Do not disturb is on Focus now.

Where do you change the message Curtis?
