[iOS 17DB3] Can’t create custom focus Home Screen (Resolved - User Error!) (thelemmy.club)

I don’t seem to be able to customise the Home Screen layout for a specific focus mode. Whenever I change the layout of a specific focus mode, it changes the home screen across all modes.

I am entering the mode from the Lock screen, unlocking, and putting the home screen into edit mode. After making the changes I am locking the phone and reverting back to the default focus mode.

Am I holding this wrong or has this broken in 17DB3?

Edit: Resolved thanks to @dnzm@lemmy.ml

Likewise, you can customize a Home Screen page that has only apps related to a Focus and make that page your Home Screen during that Focus.

I am sure that prior to this beta I could crest per focus Home Screen layouts.

    You said Lock Screen was your start point so that’s why I made my last comment.

    My understanding is that it works by going through settings -> Focus. Then edit the screen of the specific focus there.

    Ahhh you are right (and I am dumb!).

    I assumed I could turn on the focus and then customise the home screen and it would retain it for that focus mode. In reality, as you say, I have to set a custom home screen from Settings > Focus first. *Then *I can edit it whilst the focus is on.

    Thanks.
