OnePlus: Set Up Focus Mode for Distracting Apps

If certain apps keep pulling your attention away from work, muting each one manually gets old fast. Focus mode on your OnePlus phone pauses selected apps and hides their notifications for a set time, but it only works if you pick the right apps and turn it on the right way.

Set Up Focus Mode auf OnePlus

Focus mode on OnePlus phones pauses the apps you pick and hides their notifications for a chosen period. It sits inside the phone's digital wellbeing tools, separate from Do Not Disturb, which mutes everything system-wide instead of selected apps only.

Once turned on, the apps you selected stay accessible from the home screen, but their alerts stay silent until Focus mode ends. This helps during work blocks or study sessions where a few specific apps cause most of the distraction, rather than every notification on the phone.

Where to find Focus mode

Open the Settings ➔ tap on Digital Wellbeing & parental controls ➔ tap on Focus mode ➔ choose one or more distracting apps ➔ choose Set a schedule or Turn on now.

Picking Turn on now starts the block immediately for a single session. Setting a schedule lets you fix a start and end time so Focus mode kicks in automatically, for example every weekday morning, without you needing to remember to switch it on.

If you only want to silence calls or alerts temporarily without touching specific apps, Do Not Disturb is the faster route. Focus mode makes more sense when a small group of apps is the actual problem and you still want other notifications to come through.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. In the last step, tap Turn on now instead of Set a schedule to block the selected apps immediately for one session.
