I’m a youngie but I like “Grandpa’s” voice! And I was told them old folks have learned experiences! Sooo I check his video for advice. Hahaha 😂😂❤❤

One of the best «how-to» videos I’ve ever seen on youtube - right to the point, no crap😊

I like the way you explain things it makes it a lot easier to understand my focus mode was switching out automatically and I didn’t understand why thank you

I had no idea. Now I've got a clue. All because I watched your video, and "Focused" on what to do. Thank you!

Great introduction to a complicated capability! Thanks for making this one - among your best!

Just started using do not disturb and like many of us the other stuff seemed so confusing but after seeing your video I now think I may try to set up different home screens I now have different pages with folders that I just swipe to go to the next page and dive into those folders I think the way you demonstrated may be better it is certainly worth a try Thanks for sharing

Thanks Rich. Like you, I looked at focus mode when it first came out and didn't see a use for me. I Think I'll look at it again, you gave me some ideas.

Great video and at a reasonable pace for me as I'm also a "Senior". Appreciate you taking the time, this is such a valuable use of the iPhone. Never too late to learn .....cheers!

I’m using Focus. It’s very handy for everyone, who is changing work enviroment, and sometimes need a silent situation.

Thank you for explaining this. I have a couple set up for when I go bird watching or just out for a walk when I like quick access to my bird id and logging apps and my maps, camera etc. It doesn't help that Apple have several "home" screens I tend to just think about them as App pages.

Nice video and very informative. Thanks Rich.

Thank you. This was very helpful. I set up a focus for traveling and it was a lot simpler than I expected it to be.

Thank you I finally understand this 🎉

Just found you, your amazing

Focus Modes are indeed very helpful. They also can be set to sync across iCloud so you can have your iPad, Mac, etc, all change at the same time. It is beneficial if you use multiple devices to achieve task goals.

Thank you Rich. This is incredibly useful. I did not really understand the power of these until I watched your video.

I use to have just one do not disturb mode for bedtime between 10:30 pm to 7 am before Apple came out with this focus mode. my Apple Watch automatically puts me in a focus mode when I exercise. I had avoided setting up other focus modes because it seemed complicated. But after watching this I’m considering making a travel mode to limit easy access to apps like banking apps so if I give my phone to someone to take my picture while traveling it wouldn’t be as easy for them to hijack personal info if they have to search 👀 for apps because it’s not on the Home Screen. Or if you have kids or grandkids you allow to play games on your phone you could make a kids mode that only had their apps on the Home Screen so they don’t accidentally mess up your Home Screen configuration. I was out to dinner with a friend who gave their phone to the valet attendant will dining because her Tesla car key/remote was on her phone. I don’t know if she just didn’t have a regular key with her to give the valet but maybe a focus mode would be good for this situation and even better if you could block them from accessing any other apps/pages. 🤔 the possibilities.

Much easier to create folders on Home Screen that contains all the apps needed for the folder features; Finance, Shopping, Travel, Office, Medical, News, Sports and so on, all on one Home Screen.

I miss my simple iPhone 6!

I have do not disturb overnight with the exception of select family members. That way, I don’t get calls or voice mails during the night but if a family member has an emergency, they get through.

Like the charger but it costs over £100 in the uk.

Rich, another great job and presentation. I noticed in all of your videos that you never have a case on your phone. Are there times that you use one, if so what might that be?

Wow I was thinking focus mode had something to do with the camera?😂

I use Focus myself, but in one of your examples you are being redundant, you added Contacts and Mail to the home screen but already had them both in the Dock area so could access them from any screen in that focus.

How can I delete a focus screen?

All I do is answer, take pictures, and turn sound off. It’s just a phone…I’m retired, I quit complications long time ago…I’m not a slave to my phone..

Good vid but honestly I just scroll a couple of times and I have everything. It's much simpler.

Wonderful to be patronized. Some of us devised the tech you’re touting…not every boomer is a doddering ludite. So, Yep, I’m scrolling on…

Hi Rich: When I created a focus mode the apps I put on it disappeared from my original Home Screen? What can I do to get them back?

Rich, I am a fan, but this is over the top bad. Under the guise of simplification, if is FAR too complicated and beyond confusing. Not Good!!

Well what can one say 😮

I don't know anybody who is using focus on iOS. For me, this is way too complicated and time consuming. I always use Airplane mode if I want to focus.

Too fast for me, first video that my phone and me could not grasp

Too much. Why? Widget??

Spelling mistake custom

There are times when it is very easy to confuse me especially when it comes to modern technology This video was one of those times. My bad not yours.

The worst iphone tutoria in my experience. Get to the point! Not get to the commercial!l

What a lot of time-wasting nonsense.

this is so stupid, leave to apple to make this sound like a new innovation. Android has had this forever
