For those unfamiliar, Apple introduced Focus mode in iOS 15 to let you concentrate on the tasks that matter to you. Depending on your needs, you can create a variety of profiles to get your work done with the desired peace of mind. Before getting started, make sure you have created a Focus profile. If you have not yet created any profile, go to the Settings app on your iPhone -> choose Focus, and then do the needful.
Step 1. First off, unlock your iPhone with Face ID or Touch ID depending on your device model.
Step 2. Now, press and hold on to the Lock Screen wallpaper.
Step 3. Next, swipe left/ right to find the desired Lock Screen wallpaper which you want to link to a Focus profile.
Step 4. Next up, tap on the Focus button that appears at the bottom of the wallpaper.
Step 5. Up next, select a Focus profile and hit the X remove button in the window.
Step 6. Finally, tap on the Done button at the top right corner of the screen and you are good to go!
