You’ve long been able to use Do Not Disturb on your Mac, iPhone, or iPad to mute all notifications, and Apple is now rolling out Focus, an enhanced version of this feature that gives you a great deal more flexibility. If you’re at work, you may need to have notifications on if your company uses Slack, Microsoft Teams, or some other tool to communicate amongst employees.

They can interrupt meetings, meals, and movies. One of the blights of the modern world is the notifications we get on our devices.
