Apple’s Focus feature allows iPhone users to prioritize their time by choosing the type of notifications that appear on their screen throughout the day.

The Focus feature was introduced with iOS 15 in 2021.

“Time sensitive” alerts are simply notifications that are given higher priority over others, allowing them to appear on an iPhone screen while other unimportant notifications are blocked.

Users can now create custom Do Not Disturb modes for specific situations like work, sleep, and more.

“You can block as many apps as you want without worrying about missing something important,” How-To-Geek described.What is “time sensitive” on Snapchat?

Fortunately, there is a way to remove this feature and it is not very difficult.
