After iOS 27, I still see the focus widget on the shortcut screen, but single-tapping no longer activates DND… I have to go one level deeper into the focus options page and THEN tap DND. It’s an extra (unnecessary) step. Single tapping on shortcut screen shows user feedback as if you “attempted” to enable it, but never enables. Ironically, once enabled, it WILL disable from a single-tap on the shortcut screen. This was not an issue in previous iOS.

Since the iOS 27 update and now 27.0.21, my Focus Do Not Disturb is also not working. I’ve removed it completely, reset my network settings, updated all my other devices to no avail. Messages are all coming through when I’ve selected only three people to receive notifications.

No. It's never worked for me.
