iOS 15 Focus – Everything New and How to Use It – What’s the Best Feature?
Focus Mode is arguably the most powerful new feature in iOS 15 and macOS Monterey, but it’s lagged behind because it’s difficult to explain and confusing to set up.

"My favorite Focus Mode right now is my Kids Mode, which I use when my kids want to borrow my phone. In this mode, I have customized my pages to only show kid-friendly entertainment apps like Netflix, Youtube, and similar apps.
