How to turn Focus on and off on my MacBook Air? There used to be a simple way to turn Focus on and off. Perfect if I didn't want to be disturbed for a limited amount of time. Apple seems to have taken away that option. I've gone over Focus with a fine-toothed comb and don't see it. Am I missing it? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

how to change keyboard binding focus mode to a different focus Since getting the new Macbook Air, I noticed that you can now select a key to turn on a focus mode. This mode is set to the focus mode "Do Not Disturb" and I noticed that I do not really use that one, and instead I wanted to change it to a different focus mode that I customized instead. I do not have the standard function keys on, it turns on when I just press the F6 key with the "Do Not Disturb" icon on it. Is there any possible way to change that key to turn on a different focus mode instead of the already set "Do Not Disturb"? Thank you!

Why is focus turning on by itself? Why is focus turning on by itself? I never set it up. I use do not disturb. I never used/setup focus. Every few days I find that focus has turned on. It appears to turn on when dnd turns off for the day. dnd runs from 12 am to 7 am. Every few days I notice that focus is on after 7 am, so I have to turn it off.

Turn a Focus on or off on Mac - Apple Support

That's all we know. If you can't turn it off I suggest contacting Apple Support, here: Official Apple Support.

Make sure your macOS version is up to date, which would be the first thing Apple would have you do anyway: Update macOS on Mac - Apple Support
