I made a focus so i wouldn’t get disturbed but people can still message me

[Ghost31]

I made a fitness focus and a meditation focus and I wanted to not be disturbed for both but I’m still able to get messages. I went in settings for the meditation focus and clicked “silence notifcations” and I’m still getting them. Is there a switch i didn’t flip or something?

Notifications from who? If they are people in your emergency bypass list then they will come through unfortunately.

Interesting. How do i find my emergency bypass?

Go to the contact’s card, tap edit and look for ringtone and text tone

Well damn. I was really hoping that was gonna be it. I must be doing something else wrong if notifications are going through during my meditations

Have you made sure the Messages app is not allowed within the focus mode you are referring to?

^This. And other apps as well.

And under Apps, make sure "Time Sensitive" is off.

And under People, "Allow Calls From" to be "Allowed People Only" and don't list anyone in People.

And the "Silence Notifications" needs to be Always. Not sure what some of the canned Foci are as I deleted most of them but guess all/most that have "Silence" pertains only to allowing Notifications if/when the phone is unlocked or not. Not a general "silence everything" type option.
