In addition to focus mode allowing users to restrict access to certain apps, these filters also can change how your apps work. This means that each specific filter can determine the information available in a focus mode. These focus filters can be used by default in some Apple applications such as Calendar, Email, Messages, and Safari.

Some system settings can also be changed with focus filters. These settings include system appearance for switching between light and dark and low power modes. For example, users can select a group of tabs to display in Safari, hide a specific calendar, or even limit the Mail app to an inbox with a focus filter.

Additionally, third-party apps can also take advantage of focus filters in iOS 16 and iPadOS 16. Some popular apps like GoodLinks, Outlook, and Tasks already support this integration.
