After you set up a Sleep Focus, you can quickly turn it on or off in Control Center. A Sleep Focus helps reduce distractions before and during bedtime. For example, it can filter out notifications and phone calls, and it can signal to others that you’re not available.
You can also choose to turn off the Sleep Focus for all of your sleep schedules. And when your Sleep Focus is on, you can quickly turn it off from the Lock Screen, too.
Here’s how to turn your Sleep Focus on or off on iPhone.
Quickly turn your Sleep Focus on or off
- Open Control Center on your iPhone.
- Do one of the following:
- Turn the Sleep Focus on: Tap Focus and tap Sleep.
- Turn the Sleep Focus off: Tap Sleep, then tap Sleep again.
Quick tip: When your Sleep Focus is on, you can switch it off quickly from the Lock Screen: Touch and hold Sleep, then tap Sleep.
At your next scheduled bedtime or wake up time, your Sleep Focus turns on or off again.
To share your Sleep Focus settings with your other devices, make sure you have Share Across Devices turned on. Go to the Settings app, tap Focus, then tap Share Across Devices.
Turn off your Sleep Focus for all sleep schedules
- Start the Health app on your iPhone.
- Tap Browse, then tap Sleep.
- Tap Sleep, scroll down to Your Schedule, and then tap Full Schedule & Options.
- Turn off Use Schedule for Sleep Focus.
Your sleep schedules remain in effect when this setting is off, but your Sleep Focus doesn’t turn on automatically. You can turn the setting back on at any time.
