I don’t seem to be able to customise the Home Screen layout for a specific focus mode. Whenever I change the layout of a specific focus mode, it changes the home screen across all modes.

I am entering the mode from the Lock screen, unlocking, and putting the home screen into edit mode. After making the changes I am locking the phone and reverting back to the default focus mode.

Am I holding this wrong or has this broken in 17DB3?

I thought the focus set for a Home Screen was just to set the focus when you change to that Home Screen.

Likewise, you can customize a Home Screen page that has only apps related to a Focus and make that page your Home Screen during that Focus.

I am sure that prior to this beta I could crest per focus Home Screen layouts.

You said Lock Screen was your start point so that’s why I made my last comment.

My understanding is that it works by going through settings -> Focus. Then edit the screen of the specific focus there.

Ahhh you are right (and I am dumb!).

I assumed I could turn on the focus and then customise the home screen and it would retain it for that focus mode. In reality, as you say, I have to set a custom home screen from Settings > Focus first. *Then *I can edit it whilst the focus is on.

Thanks.

No problem. We’ve all been there.
