How to silence specific people in Focus Mode on Apple iPhone running iOS 16

Apple has released the iOS 16 operating system for the Apple iPhone, which is currently in the beta stage, but it is expected to soon be available for users globally. The newer version of the software comes with several new features, functionality, and customization support to ensure a better user experience.

The Focus Mode, which was available on iOS before the release of version 16, now has several improvements. The feature is aimed to reduce distractions and let the user focus on a single thing by filtering notifications. But now, the company has added more controls for the users to customize.

The iOS 16 supports selecting specific apps and people to whom the focus mode applies. Earlier, the Focus Mode applied to every app and contact on the smartphone by default, and the user needed to exclude the apps and contacts manually.

In this step-by-step guide, we will show you how you can silence notifications for specific people in the Focus Mode on your Apple iPhone running the latest iOS 16 operating system.
