有时，我们会觉得使用我们的设备是不可能避免分心的。无论您是在工作、阅读、冥想，还是与家人共度美好时光，似乎总会有短信、应用提醒或电话。不幸的是，您可能无法关闭手机、静音甚至忽略它。
幸运的是，Apple在(Apple)iOS 15(with iOS 15)、iPadOS 15 和 macOS Monterey中引入了Focus功能，可以提供帮助。使用Focus模式时，您可以自定义接收的通知、呼叫和警报。此外，您可以设置一个特定的主屏幕(Home screen)，仅显示您希望在专注(Focus)时间允许的应用程序，让其他人知道您不可用，并在您的其他Apple设备上共享您的设置。
让我们深入研究如何充分利用这一有用的全新Focus功能并减少干扰。

转到“焦点”(Focus)选项卡并选择左侧的“请勿打扰(Disturb)”、“驾驶”或“睡眠”。(Driving)
允许的通知来自
就像在 iPhone 上一样，您可以选择在Focus时间从哪些人或应用程序接收通知。选择该框顶部的人员(People)或应用程序，然后使用(Apps)加号(plus sign)添加一个。
选择选项(Options)以自定义时间敏感(Time Sensitive)通知、允许的呼叫和重复呼叫。
自动(Automatically)开启、自动化(Automation)和计划(Schedule)
焦点(Focus)选项卡的底部是调度和自动化的位置。对于请勿打扰(Disturb)或自定义焦点(Focus)，您可以设置时间表并快速启用或禁用该时间表。
对于驾驶(Driving)和睡眠(Sleep)，您可以在 iPhone 或 iPad 上设置这些自动选项。
共享焦点状态(Focus Status)和跨(Share Across)设备共享
Mac上最后可用的焦点(Focus)设置是共享焦点状态(Share Focus Status)和跨设备共享(Share Across Devices)。只需(Simply)选中一个或两个框即可启用这些额外功能。
在 iPhone 和 iPad 上创建自定义焦点(Custom Focus)
Apple为您提供了上述预设，您可以将其用于Focus模式。如您所见，请勿打扰(Do Not Disturb)、驾驶(Driving)和睡眠(Sleep)现在是焦点(Focus)的一部分。此外，您可以使用Personal、Work、Fitness、Gaming、Mindfulness、Reading或完全自定义的Focus。
- 转到设置(Settings)>焦点(Focus)。
- 要使用Personal或Work，请从列表中选择它。对于其他活动，请点击右上角的加号(plus sign)。然后，选择自定义(Custom)或其他选项之一。
- 如果您选择Custom，在配置设置之前，系统会要求您提供Focus模式的名称、颜色和图标。如果您选择其他活动，例如阅读(Reading)，只需按照提示配置焦点(Focus)设置。
在 Mac 上创建自定义焦点
- 转到系统偏好设置(System Preferences)>通知和焦点(Notifications & Focus)，然后选择焦点(Focus)选项卡。
- 在左侧，使用列表底部的加号选择(plus sign)自定义(Custom)或其他选项之一。
- 如果您选择Custom，在将其添加到列表之前，系统会要求您指定名称、颜色和图标。如果您选择其他活动，例如Gaming，它只会显示在顶部的列表中。
- 在左侧选择新焦点(Focus)后，使用右侧的设置来配置前面描述的选项。
打开对焦模式
一旦您设置了您想要使用的专注(Focus)模式，您就可以随时手动启用您想要的任何一种，即使它们是预定的或自动的。
在 iPhone 和 iPad 上，执行以下操作之一：
- 打开Control Center，点击Focus，然后选择您要使用的Focus模式。(Focus)

您可以使用上述任何操作手动关闭焦点(Focus)，然后取消选择焦点(Focus)模式或禁用切换。
删除焦点
如果您稍后决定不再需要已设置的Focus模式并且更愿意将其完全删除而不是仅仅禁用它，您可以在 iPhone、iPad 和Mac上删除(Mac)Focus。
在 iPhone 和 iPad 上，打开Focus设置并选择模式。在底部，点击Delete Focus并点击(Delete Focus)Delete(Delete Focus) Focus进行确认。
在Mac上，打开Focus设置，选择左侧的模式，然后单击底部的减号。(minus sign)选择Delete Focus进行(Delete Focus)确认(Confirm)。

使用Apple设备上的(Apple)Focus功能，您可以最大限度地减少工作、阅读、锻炼或放松时的干扰。
对于其他减少干扰的方法，您可以在 iPhone 和 iPad 上使用“屏幕使用时间”或(Screen Time on iPhone and iPad)在 Mac 上(Screen Time on Mac)设置“屏幕使用时间” 。这使您可以限制应用程序的使用、安排停机时间等。
How to Use Focus Mode on iPhone, iPad, and Mac to Reduce Distractions
Sometimes it can feel like avoiding diѕtractions is impossible with our devices. Whether you’re working, reading, mеditating, or spending quality time with family, it seems like there’s always a text message, app alert, or phone call. Unfortunately, you might be іn a position where you can’t just turn off your phone, silence it, or even ignore it.
Luckily, Apple introduced the Focus feature with iOS 15, iPadOS 15, and macOS Monterey that can help. When you use Focus mode, you can customize which notifications, calls, and alerts you receive. What’s more, you can set up a specific Home screen displaying only those apps you want to allow during Focus time, let others know you’re unavailable, and share your settings across your other Apple devices.
Let’s dig into how you can make the most of this useful new Focus feature and reduce distractions.
Set Up Focus Mode on iPhone and iPad
To set up a new Focus mode on iPhone and iPad, open the Settings app and select Focus. Choose Do Not Disturb, Driving, or Sleep. You can also set up a Personal or Work focus if you prefer.
Allowed Notifications
Below Allowed Notifications, you can let calls and alerts from specific people or apps come through during Focus time.
- People: Under Allowed People, tap Add Person to select someone from your Contacts. Under Also Allow, choose to receive calls from your Favorites, Groups, No One, or another option.
- Apps (not available for Driving): Under Allowed Apps, tap Add App to choose an app you want to receive notifications from and optionally enable the toggle for Time Sensitive notifications.
Options
Below Options, you can turn on Focus Status and customize the Home and Lock screen appearances.
- Focus Status: With this enabled, a message displays that you have silenced your notifications. Others can see this in places like the Messages app.
- Home Screen (not available for Driving): You can hide the notification badges and select a custom Home screen to only display certain apps. This is handy if your Focus time is for work and you only want to see specific apps like Slack or Microsoft Teams.
- Lock Screen (not available for Driving): You can dim the display and show silenced notifications on the Lock screen.
- Auto-Reply (Driving only): Create automatic replies for your Favorites, all Contacts, your recents, or no one.
Turn On Automatically
Below Turn On Automatically, you can set up a schedule for Do Not Disturb and a custom Focus, automatically enable the Driving Focus when driving, and view the Sleep schedule you set up in the Health app.
Share Across Devices
When you head back to the main Focus settings, you’ll see a toggle for Share Across Devices. Turn this on to sync the Focus modes with your Apple devices.
Set Up a Focus on Mac
To set up a new Focus mode on your Mac, open the System Preferences using the icon in your Dock or Apple icon in the menu bar. Then, select Notifications & Focus.
Go to the Focus tab and pick Do Not Disturb, Driving, or Sleep on the left.
Allowed Notifications From
Like on iPhone, you can choose which people or apps to receive notifications from during Focus time. Pick People or Apps at the top of that box and use the plus sign to add one.
Select Options to customize Time Sensitive notifications, allowed calls, and repeated calls.
Turn On Automatically, Automation, and Schedule
At the bottom of the Focus tab is a spot for scheduling and automation. For Do Not Disturb or a custom Focus, you can set up a schedule and quickly enable or disable that schedule.
For Driving and Sleep, you can set up those automatic options on your iPhone or iPad.
Share Focus Status and Share Across Devices
The last Focus settings available on Mac are to Share Focus Status and Share Across Devices. Simply check one or both boxes to enable these extra features.
Create a Custom Focus on iPhone and iPad
Apple provides you with the above presets you can use for Focus mode. As you can see, Do Not Disturb, Driving, and Sleep are now part of Focus. In addition, you can use a Personal, Work, Fitness, Gaming, Mindfulness, Reading or a completely custom Focus.
- Go to Settings > Focus.
- To use Personal or Work, select it from the list. For a different activity, tap the plus sign on the top right. Then, pick Custom or one of the other options.
- If you choose Custom, you’ll be asked to provide a name, color, and icon for the Focus mode before configuring the settings. If you pick another activity such as Reading, simply follow the prompts to configure the Focus settings.
Create a Custom Focus on Mac
- Go to System Preferences > Notifications & Focus and select the Focus tab.
- On the left, use the plus sign at the bottom of the list to choose Custom or one of the other options.
- If you pick Custom, you’ll be asked to assign a name, color, and icon before it’s added to the list. If you pick another activity such as Gaming, it will simply display in the list at the top.
- With your new Focus selected on the left, use the settings on the right to configure the options described earlier.
Turn On Focus Mode
Once you set up the Focus mode(s) you want available to you, you can enable whichever one you want manually anytime, even if they are scheduled or automatic.
On iPhone and iPad, do one of the following:
- Open Control Center, tap Focus, and choose the Focus mode you want to use.
- Open Settings, select Focus, tap the Focus mode you want to use, and enable the toggle.
On Mac, do one of the following:
- Open Control Center, select Focus, and choose the Focus mode you want to use.
- Open System Preferences, go to Notifications & Focus, select the Focus mode on the left, and enable the toggle on the right.
You can turn off Focus manually using any of the above actions and then either deselect the Focus mode or disable the toggle.
Delete a Focus
If you decide later that you no longer need a Focus mode you’ve set up and prefer to remove it completely rather than just disable it, you can delete a Focus on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
On iPhone and iPad, open the Focus settings and choose the mode. At the bottom, tap Delete Focus and confirm by tapping Delete Focus.
On Mac, open the Focus settings, select the mode on the left, and click the minus sign at the bottom. Confirm by selecting Delete Focus.
Remember, any Focus you create syncs with your other Apple devices. This means if you delete a Focus on iPhone, it will be deleted on Mac and vice versa.
Using the Focus feature on your Apple devices, you can minimize interruptions while working, reading, exercising, or simply relaxing.
For other ways to reduce distractions, you can use Screen Time on iPhone and iPad or set up Screen Time on Mac. This allows you to limit app usage, schedule downtime, and more.
