How to sync Focus Modes?


To sync your Focus Modes and block apps across all devices, turn on Share Across Devices in the Focus section of Settings — on every device. Make sure to create your templates on each device, as they’re not stored in the cloud.



Focus Mode won’t launch simultaneously. What should I do?


Please check


  1. That all devices are signed in with the same Apple ID.  
  2. That the Focus Modes are the same (e.g., Do Not Disturb).
