Hi Guys and Matt from 123myit here. In this video I will show you how to use focus on iPhone or iPad. Focus allows you to filter notifications based on what you are doing. You will find focus in control centre by swiping down from the top right and tapping on focus.

Do not disturb – Focus on iPhone

In here you will find the default focus which is do not disturb. Do not disturb silences all notifications by default. So, if you are really busy and don’t want to be interrupted you could set this and your phone won’t send any notifications. You can also tap the three dots and turn it on for 1 hour or until this evening. Alright if you close it and just go back out I will show you where it displays that Do Not Disturb is turned on.

Ok if you look in the top left corner you should see the do not disturb icon which tells you that the do not disturb is not turned on. Cool ok, let go back in an setup our own personalised do not disturb.

If you want to find the focus menu if is located under Settings and Focus. Focus on iPhone.

Focuses

To setup your own focus tap the plus icon down the bottom. Then you will have a list of pre set focuses. Up the top you have driving and fitness. Driving silences notifications, but will turn on automatically when connected to carplay or Bluetooth. Also if you have friends on iPhones, it will send them a reply that you are driving. Which is handy.  Gaming is a good one too. So if you want playing games on your iPhone and don’t want notifications interrupting the game then you can turn this on. And the last two down the bottom are mindfulness and Reading. Lets go a head and setup our own custom Focus.

Study Focus

Iam going to call mine Study. Because I want my phone to be quite when I study. Next you can select a colour and an icon for study. Tap Next. Now choose the people you want notifications from while you are studying. Notifications from other people wont appear until you turn the focus off.

That’s for notifications what about phone calls? If we tap on Calls From and then can choose calls from Everyone, No one Favourites or all contacts. When you are finished tap allow. If you don’t want to hear from anyone tap Allow none.

Allow notifications on Apps

Next you can select which Apps you want to allow notifications from so tap the plus and I am going to select Find My, Books and Messages. You can also turn on Time sensitive apps to send you notifications. Tap allow and your Focus is setup tap done to continue.

Alright before we personalised the focus I will show you what it looks like if you turn it on. Ok to personalise your Focus under the Options menu you have Focus Status. When Focus Status is turned on Apps like Messages will let people know that you have your Focus turned on.

Hide notifications on home screen

If you want to hide notification badges you can tap Home Screen. And in custom pages you can select which home screen page you want to show while in the focus. Under the lock screen menu you can dim lock screen in your focus and or show silenced notifications there.

One of the cool features is the Add Schedule or Automation. This allows you to choose to start your focus as a specific time, in a specific location or when you launch an app. So lets say I want to turn on the Study focus when I go to the Library. I would tap Smart activation to turn it on and then tap on Add Schedule or Automation. You want to tap on location and then type Library at the top. This will show you a list of Libraries near you. If this does not come up check under Settings, Privacy, Location Services and System Services.

Library Focus – focus on iPhone

Cool I found the library I am after. So what this will do is Whenever I go to the Library it will turn on my Study Focus automatically. You can use the little slider bar to make the circle bigger or smaller. Lets say I go to a nearby café afterwards. Really cool. So this would be useful if you had a work or school focus setup or a church or mosque something like that. If you scroll down you can also delete the Focus if you no longer need it.

Awesome so our Study focus is setup and ready to use. Guys don’t forget to check out my other videos such as how to find Purchase History on iPhone and iPad.

Take Control of Your Notifications iPhone iPad iOS

Hi Guys and Matt from 123myit here. I had a funny story recently where a family member said. I was getting to many notifications on a chat group, so I had to leave the group. And, my reply was, why didn’t you turn off the notifications iphone or adjust them? So, I wanted to do a video which will hopefully help you guys take control of your notifications and stop them from being annoying and distracting.

Lets get started.

Notification Centre – Notifications iPhone

You can find Notification Centre by swiping down from the top left. In addition, to edit a notification directly you can just swipe across on it and you will get more options depending on the type of notification.

Notifications iPhone

So if you get a SMS notification on the messenger app swipe across on it and you will have an Options button.  You can Mute for one hour or mute it for the whole day. You can turn off all notifications for messages or you can tap view settings.

This will take you into the Notification settings for the App that you were in. In this case, it’s the notification settings for Messages. IF you want to find the notification settings for all apps. You can find it under Settings and then Notifications.

Toggle Notifications – Notifications iPhone

At the top, you have a blanket toggle button which turns the notifications on or off for the app that you select. Therefore, if I turned this off I would not get any notifications for Messages.

Always deliver immediately, will deliver messages even in you have Focus setup with Do Not Disturb. So if you leave this turned on it will Deliver the message straight away and leave it on the locked screen for 1 hour.

I will do a video on Focus at some stage so hit that Subscribe button. Alright lets learn about what the different alerts are. You have Lock Screen, Notification Centre and Banners. Lock screen is the first screen you see on your phone when you unlock it. Notification Centre you can find when you swipe from the top left and I will show you banners when I send a text to my phone. Ok cool there it is at the top that is the banner. If you do not want any of these notifications to show up you can turn them off here. So if you wanted the messages to not show up on Lock Screen you would turn that off.

Choose your banner style

If you tap on banner style. This will allow you to set the banner as persistent. This means it will stay up as a banner until you read it. So it will sit at the top of your screen until you do something with it.

If you go into sounds, you can change the vibration of an alert as well as the sound it make when it comes in.

Badges, Badges are the little round red circles that appear on your app when you have an unread message. These are good on messages but when I had these on my emails it showed 12000 unread emails which was rather annoying. So I have this turned off on my emails.

Next is locked screen appearance. Show previews you can set to Always When unlocked or never.

Show notification on the locked screen

Always means it will show up on the locked screen. This can be a privacy issue. If you do not want others to read your message I would set these to When unlocked or never.

Notification Grouping allows you to group your notifications iphone. You can group by App or turn groups off. The last option and possibly the most annoying is Customise notifications and then repeat alerts.

Repeat sounds on messages

In here you can control how many times your messages will make a sound when a message comes in. If you do not pick your phone up and check the message when it comes in the first time it will send another alert two mins later. This could be why people get overwhelmed and think that they are getting so many messages. For me I would set this to never. Its probably the main reason people are addicted to their phones.

Hi Guys and Matt from 123myit here. I am always amazed when how to do something a new way on computers or phones. Sometimes you do not even realise that there is a new way to do something until someone else shows you and you realise you have been doing it the hard way for a while.

Take arranging your icons on your iPhone for example. Normally I would tap and drag th icons around but there is an easier way. Let me show you. If you tap your icon and hold it. I would normally drag this around but what you can do is tap the other icons that you want to arrange this icon with.

So if I grab my Calendar, Photos, Camera and Wallet. It will reorganise them in that same order that I selected. OK I will do it again. This time I want to put all my icons on the bottom row so can reach them easy. So I will tap my wallet, photos, camera and facetime. Cool so there is my wallet, photos, camera and facetime all on the easy to reach bottom row.

Here’s another one. To move an icon to a different screen I used to tap and do an awkward icon drag to one of the other screens. But what you can actually do it Tap and hold the icon and then just use your other hand to switch screens……. Oh so much easier haha.
