Reduce Interruptions Focus in iOS 18 helps concentrate on a task by cutting down disturbance intelligently.
It lets you know if an alert is important by using Apple Intelligence and silences any that it thinks are not.
iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia add a new Focus mode called Reduce Interruptions that can figure out if an alert is important or not.
The process of setting up Reduce Interruptions Focus for iPad or Mac is similar to iPhone.
You can use the People and Apps section to allow or silence alerts from specific individuals and installed applications.
The Reduce Interruptions Focus mode is available on iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and newer models, iPad with an Apple silicon chip, and Mac with an Apple silicon chip.
You can activate the Reduce Interruptions Focus just like other modes from Control Center or by touching and holding the “Reduce Interruptions” label on the Lock Screen.
The Reduce Interruptions Focus will silence notifications deemed unimportant and stack them up in your Notification Center.
When it’s time to turn it off, you can do that from Control Center or by touching and holding the “Reduce Interruptions” label on the Lock Screen.
Apple Intelligence can get things wrong; hence, it is recommended to turn off all Focus modes when expecting a critical call or email.
