Do Not Disturb While Driving iOS16

[iFone88]

Anyone know how to set this up?

I cannot for the life of me work out how it’s done.

I can see it in ‘focus’ but it doesn’t allow me to silence apps. I don’t want to see any notifications from apps while driving and only allow phone calls

It looks like it silences all apps and messages unless you add contacts to the list and allow them. I have had it on for years and don’t get app notifications.

Okay, thanks - It's very temperamental in terms of actually automatically turning on when I'm driving too

I have mine set to turn on whenever connected to car Bluetooth vs auto detect

I set up my Driving Focus so that no notifications come through when driving. But phone calls come through from people on my contact list. The Driving Focus automatically activates when driving and does send automated return messages. However, the messages still come through and show up on my phone.

I have a sleep mode also set up and that works fine. No notifications come through when that mode is on.

Any suggestions?

I'm having problems getting this focus mode to work on my iPhone 8. Calls from my contacts are ringing through when I want them to be silenced. My setting is to allow calls from 'allowed people only', but I don't have any allowed people and I'm still getting calls.

Oddly, there's no option to allow calls from 'no one' like there is for Work focus. But I shouldn't need this option anyway if I don't have any allowed people!

Edit: I will try adding one contact to Allowed People and hope that everyone else gets silenced. Might take me a while to be able to test this out as I rarely get calls anyway, let alone while I'm driving!
