If you want to know how to do it, in this post we explain everything in detail.
With the release of iOS 15, Apple offered many new ways for you to focus on your iPhone, and that it does not become a distraction. One of the novelties of this operating system was the concentration modes, which restricted notifications on your device, and you can also configure it in such a way that some notifications appear and others do not, or you can make it work in certain places or during a determined time. Another novelty to help concentration was the appearance of relaxing sounds within the iPhone itself, without having to download anything and without subscriptions to any service.
