Similarly, iPhone users can choose a Focus mode for work, personal time, sleep, fitness, mindfulness, gaming, reading, or driving, or any custom focus mode they prefer. This way, when you are in a meeting, you won’t be disturbed by other things. Your current focus mode will alert your contacts about the current action when they are calling or sending a message.

Hello, I am writing regarding the last sentence of your article, in which you say you can set Focus mode to automatically turn on during meetings scheduled in the calendar, and then turn off at the end of them (rather than doing so manually yourself every time, like now):
"You can also schedule an automatic focus for a specific time, during your meetings, etc."
I believe you are incorrect. I cannot find a way to do so. Can you please indicate in detail how?
Hello Amir,
Every Focus mode has a start and an end time, so u can add a custom focus and name is "meeting", set it to start when your meeting starts, and end immediately your meeting stops.
