Sometimes, you just need to get stuff done — that budget spreadsheet, your book, or even a nap — but your phone insists on distracting you with notifications, messages or the pull of social media.
Sure, the ‘Do Not Disturb’ setting can temporarily stifle interruptions when you need quiet time or a mental break, but recent versions of Android and Apple’s new iOS 15 include a more flexible ‘Focus Mode’ with more tools for concentration. Here is a quick guide.
Find your focus
In Android 12, look for the Digital Wellbeing icon in your app drawer. If you don’t see it, open Settings and select ‘Digital Wellbeing & Parental Controls’.
On an Apple device running iOS 15, open the Settings icon and scroll to ‘Focus’. There, you will see that the old ‘Do Not Disturb’ setting has moved in, and you have a button to share your settings across other Apple devices, including Macs.
Stop interruptions
