Sleep setting icon now shows Focus options

Two days ago, the crescent moon icon for the sleep setting now shows focus options. Can I get the simple sleep option back?

Hi there


Please try this


  • Control Center: Access Control Center, tap Focus, and choose Sleep to toggle it on or off.
  • Lock Screen: Press and hold your Lock Screen's Sleep indicator, then select Sleep to disable it.
  • Schedules: To disable automatic activation, navigate to the Health app via Browse > Sleep > Full Schedule & Options and toggle off Use Schedule for Sleep Focus.

Thank you, but when I tap Focus in the control centre, there is no 'sleep' option. Only On/on for 1 hour/on until this evening/on until I leave.

I don't know where to find a Lock Screen Sleep indicator.

The sleep scheduling is turned off, including on my iPhone.

Thanks for any further tips you know!
