Do your friends and family keep asking you why your notifications are silenced? If you’re not actually using a Focus mode like Do Not Disturb, this is probably a head-scratcher for you.

This exact thing happened to me this morning. I use the Sleep Focus mode at night and turn it off as soon as I wake up. Otherwise my Apple Watch just shows a big green digital clock all day. That’s no good.

After a colleague asked me why I was muting their messages during a conversation, I double checked that nothing was in a Focus mode. Not the Mac, not the iPhone, not the Apple Watch.

The fix was the typical turn it off and turn it back on. Well, in this case, turn it on and turn it back off. A single round of that on one device resolved the random silenced notifications message for the other person. No feelings were hurt, I assume.

An actual thing seen on Apple’s support forums

It turns out this is a thing more people are seeing. iPhone users report experiencing this issue on various models of iPhones with both iOS 15 and iOS 16. If you’re seeing this too, the good news is you’re not alone. That probably means Apple will work to resolve it sooner than later.

The bad news is there’s no real workaround for now. If you’re not in a Focus mode, there’s nothing to turn off. Just keep toggling those focus modes.

Oh, and one more thing. This bug doesn’t actually silence notifications when contacts are seeing that message. It’s just creating awkward situations where people think you’re ignoring them. On the other hand, maybe this is just Siri making assumptions…
