Any insight would be appreciated;
iOS 26.5.1, iPhone Air, one account in it only, mine.
I have Foobar2000 (music player) installed.
I have a certain track that is to play ad infinitum when i want it, only reason i actually installed Foobar2000 on the iPhone.
I have set a Focus where if the Foobar2000 app is running?
- Allow some people -> None
- Silence all notifications + do not move them to Notification Center
- Take iPhone to Silent Mode
* i have also purposely removed all my emergency contacts as they bypass the above, and disabled critical alerts where applicable (say, iMessages), as they can also bypass the above.
And yet?
Problem 1:
- Occasionally i get some whatever email (default Mail app only, no third party software to blame), not even a contact. Focus breaks, music stops playing, ding ding is heard, notification displayed. Fail 1.
Problem 2:
- Often (not just occasionally as per the email issue above but literally often) i get phone calls from people not in my contacts list (default Phone app, again no excuses here). And the Phone calls come through just fine.. Focus breaks, music stops playing, ring tone is heard, notification displayed. Fail 2.
In as far as the options given to me inside Focus + let appropriate apps see/share Focus are concerned, i cannot see what i've done wrong, certainly haven't missed anything.
And yet.
For a 1,5K effing cell phone, am getting pissed off to be honest..
Any, any help would be much appreciated; and thank you for reading 🙂
