Finally, there’s Focus Mode. You’ll find this
as an option under Digital Wellbeing,
allowing you to block access to any apps of
your choosing
when Focus
Mode is
enabled. First,
pick the apps
you want to
block from the
list in this
menu. You can
schedule Focus
Mode for any
time or simply
tap the Focus
Mode toggle in
quick settings.

graying out the icon,
and hiding their
notifications. When
you turn this feature
off, the apps will
come back
immediately.

pain to disable this feature.Focus Mode pauses apps by closing them in the background, graying out the icon,
