focus turning on at the wrong time

I have set a focus to turn on at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday and off at 12:30 p.m. on Sunday. It is only set to run one day a week, and yet it has turned itself on and says that it will be on until next Sunday at 12:30. I have not selected any of the days of the week other than Sunday. What can I do to fix this?

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 16

Hey there rmblood,


Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities.


If you haven't already, we would recommend removing and rescheduling the Focus to see if that's able to help with the issue; however, before scheduling the Focus to turn on this Sunday, try testing the issue by setting the time for an early date first.

Delete a Focus
1. When you no longer need a Focus you set up, you can delete it.
2. Go to Settings  > Focus.
3. Tap the Focus, scroll to the bottom of the screen, then tap Delete Focus.
4. If you delete a provided Focus, you need to set it up again by going to Settings > Focus, then tapping the Add button.

Schedule a Focus to turn on automatically
1. You can schedule a Focus to turn on at certain times, when you’re at a particular location, or when you open a specific app.
2. Go to Settings  > Focus, then tap the Focus you want to schedule.
3. To have this Focus turn on automatically based on cues like your location or app usage, tap Smart Activation, turn on Smart Activation, then tap the Back button at the top left.
4. Tap Add Schedule, then set the times, a location, or an app you want to activate this Focus.


Keep us updated on the results.


Take care!
