I recently updated my MacBook OS to Ventura 13.0.1, and updated my iPhone to 16.1.1.
Today I turned on Focus while I was in a meeting, and now it won't turn off.
The straightforward On/Off button from the previous operating systems seems to have vanished, on both my devices.
What's going on? Apple, please fix this.
