How do I turn off focus mode?

For this phone setting question, the goal is to fix one annoyance without turning off something important like calls, messages, family alerts, or emergency settings.

The short answer

Open Settings, search for the setting or app name, change only that setting, then test before changing broader phone controls like Do Not Disturb or network reset.

Try these first

1Use the Settings search box if you cannot find the menu.
2Change one setting, test it, then stop if the problem is fixed.
3Avoid broad resets unless you know what they will erase or disconnect.
