The special iPhone Focus Mode feature has been there since the release of iOS 15. However, with the release of iOS 16, it just got a lot better! The latest update has expanded what Focus mode can do with some outstanding new features. Basically, Focus Mode lets you stay in the moment when you need to concentrate or step away from your device and focus on something important that you need to do without any distractions. You can customize Focus Mode and choose when you want to receive alerts and notifications while letting other people and apps know when you're busy.

With the new feature in iOS 16, you can filter out content within apps, showing a specific Mail account or maybe even the Calendar that you want to Focus on to complete a task or a meeting undisturbed. Magically, with the use of Focus Mode you can filter out the rest of the content to show only what you want it to. While the rest of the details will be hidden. It can be applied to any app, such as Calendar, Mail, Messages, Safari, Dark Mode, and a lot more. Do you want to hide specific content within an app on your iPhone? Just follow these steps and hide content in some Apps on whichever iPhone you own. iPhone 14, iPhone 13, iPhone 12, and other iOS 16-supported devices can use this mode.
