In the official Apple press release:
iOS 15 introduces a focus mode, which can filter notifications based on the user’s current tasks, helping users reduce distractions. For example, users can set work focus mode during working hours, allowing only colleagues and work-related apps to send notifications; private focus mode allows users to avoid external disturbances when sharing intimate time with relatives and friends, and fitness focus mode helps users Give your full attention while exercising. The user can create a custom focus mode, or choose a preset focus mode.
The latter will use device-side intelligence to suggest which contacts or apps are allowed to send notifications. To further play the role of the focus mode, users can also use apps and widgets to create a dedicated home screen page when they need to stay focused.
In the focus mode, the status will be automatically displayed in third-party apps that support this function, such as the information app and Slack, so that others should not be disturbed at the moment. Users can also get suggestions to turn on focus mode based on factors such as the time of day or location; setting focus mode on one Apple device will automatically apply to the user’s other Apple devices.
In the iOS 14 system, there is a setting in “Do Not Disturb Mode”. In the audio and video mode, there are “Always” and “When iPhone is locked.” The former can always mute incoming calls and notifications, while the latter can only mute the device when the device is locked. . With this setting, you can turn on the Do Not Disturb feature, but if you unlock your phone and use it actively, you can still receive all calls and notifications.
Some people use this setting to activate the Do Not Disturb feature at any time during the day, so that when the iPhone is locked, it will be muted, but when the iPhone is in use, they will not miss the reminder.

However, in iOS 15 system, Apple cancelled this option. When in Do Not Disturb mode and locked, the notification will still be displayed. My phone has basically been running in Do Not Disturb mode until now, but I have to stop using it now, which is really annoying.
For example, when my phone is locked, I don’t want notifications, but when I’m actively using it, I still need them to pop up. There is no corresponding setting in the focus mode, so there is no longer an option to receive notifications when the iPhone is unlocked and mute it when not in use. In focus mode, this is an all-or-nothing experience-either receive notifications or remain silent under any circumstances.
