FOCUS MOOD
What is focus mode?
Focus Mode is a new setting available for Galaxy devices operating on Android OS Version 10 (Q). It is located in the Digital Wellbeing and parental control settings and allows you to block out distracting apps when trying to get in the zone. Whether you're at work or just need some me time, you can customise and remove certain applications from notifying you or stop yourself from opening apps by temporarily disabling them. Follow the below guide to learn how to use Focus Mode on your Galaxy device.
Focus mode, as the feature is called, is part of Android’s built-in Digital Wellbeing toolset, which offers a number of features to help people manage their screen time more effectively, including app-limit timers and a “wind down” mode that encourages users to set a bedtime schedule. In a nutshell, Focus mode allows users to choose the most distracting apps on their device and “pause” them all with the toggle of a switch. For anyone who struggles to compartmentalize their app usage and is easily distracted by constant alerts, it holds the potential to be an incredibly powerful feature.
