Settings -> Focus

In iOS 17 they added a feature that lets the FBI see what you see on your screen. That’s the symbol they use when they are connected……… . . . . . . .

You just activated focus mode for me I’ve activated bedtime mode you can create your own focus mode

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

These kinds of posts always confuse me. You enabled the focus mode yourself, and then you ask what the icon means…

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

This is focus mode "Work" that is enabled.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Swipe down from top right corner, you will see the same turned on(colorful), tap on it again to turn it off

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Your focus session/mode. Go into settings and search focus

I appreciate the pettiness of taking them up on their googling claim lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

The focus mode "Work" is active. In the settings, you can find "focus" and see the list of all your focus mode. You can also go to the control center and enable/disable a focus mode

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

It the focus mode “work”, I have it on rn, you can disable it in the control center or in settings

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

your search history must look really funny 😭

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Your work focus is enabled.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

It means there’s a focus mode active. It’s been asked so many times. I literally just googled it and it was the first result I find it hard to believe you couldn’t find anything about it. You can change focus mode in control centre.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

work focus, one of the do not disturb modes

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Focus mode set to “work”

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

It's just the icon that tells you work focus is on.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Highly doubt you actually googled it considering this is one of the most basic features of iPhone now

iPhone’s Profile icon

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Your work focus is on

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

That’s the symbol that appears before your phone bursts into flames

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

That’s the Focus Symbol for Work, I use it and set the time for when I’m at work.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Your iPhone is recommending you to taking a shower

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

That’s your work profile. After IOS15 apple introduced profiles to manage your phone. That symbol indicates that with profile is on and certain apps, Home Screen, notifications may be hidden from your knowledge. You can turn it off, or change it in settings >profile

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

It’s useful when you only want to get notifications from certain people and apps at certain times. For example I set up my sleep focus so I get no notifications except from my family in case there’s an emergency or whatever.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

It means Apple is trying to reach you of about your iPhone insurance ;)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

its one of your Focus profiles.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Focus mode is turned on you can turn it off from control center.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

You’re in work focus. With no sarcasm or mockery, only genuine curiosity, how did you not know that? It won’t do it by default. You have to set it up.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

It’s focus mode, you can change it in the control centre

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Focus mode- work - in this case

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I was also very confused the first time Work Focus came on. At home, I set it to automatically turn on when I get to work, and all day I kept thinking about what it could be. Contact card? Calendar event?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

You’re in work focus mode

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

So… you were focusing on searching /s

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Swipe down from the Top right to open control center. There will be that icon saying "Work" focus. You can tap on that button to see other focus modes.

I gotta ask, what’s the option below sleep?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

“Work” focus

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago
[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

You have a work focus turned on. It changes based on the focus you are using

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago
