5:37 I actually love this feature when i am studying for exams. I get a lot of calls, texts, and emails and being able to control what notifications get shown in a focus mode on all my devices has saved my productivity, focus, and sanity. I understand that its not everybody's cup of tea but i love this feature.
hi, I suggest for the home shortcut you just select ''Get current focus'' and them ''set focus''. So you just select disable and current focus. This way its easier and also you don't need to edit this shortcut every time you create a new one.
If you use other shortcuts, then your widget might get messy. To fix that, make a folder in Shortcuts and call it “iPad control” or whatever you want. Then edit your home screen, tap the Shortcuts widget and you can pick what folder it should get the shortcuts from!
Always enjoy these videos. Got mine setup up similarly! Also added work shortcuts that will open two apps side by side like To Do and Spotify. Looking forward to the new iPad OS to have wallpapers switching so quickly! Great work as always dude!
How do you put the focus modes icons on the Shortcuts widget. I don’t know if I missed that part or you had it on the previous video that’s the only thing I’m getting stumped on.
Can you also set up each home screen or set of home screens per focus mode when already in it? Then when you disable it you still have to hide them all from the non-focus setup... Also i find that hiding the widget in the widget area to the left of the home screen or even using the control center gives a clutter free workspace
When I switch from one focus mode to the next, the text/name of my apps end up with a white font and drop shadow for about 5 seconds then the text becomes black, though the wallpaper is changed instantaneously. I noticed that for you, when you switch from one focus mode to the next, this does not happen. Would you know how to get this seamless transition from one focus mode to the next?
HELP‼️ I have an iPad Pro 2017 iPadOS v.17.01 loaded. In shortcuts app I keep getting message "Please provide an image to set as a wallpaper" but I have an image set and the focus buttons all work - with a small lag for the wallpaper to change for each. The focus notification [anybody know how to turn this annoyance off?] also says I need to set an image, but there is clearly an image set.
Wish I had seen this video earlier. I tried to make different focus modes with different screen and apps, but it didn't work. I didn't it in the wrong way 🤦♀

Nice tip! Thanks
Interestign, I've just done it to turn on Do Not Disturb, then turn off Do Not Disturb. After that its just set to the standard 'No Focus' setting
This works really well, thanks! You can also just set each individual button to toggle on and off, but I think I like your solution better.
Any idea how to have the screen go back to the main first screen once I click the Home shortcut?
@@rgandhi37 9:08 do you mean this part?
Just got the new air and set this up. You’re honestly one of the best tech RUclipsrs out there. Really easy process to follow!
Today is the day I sit down and go through the process and set up my iPad like this.
Worth doing imo!

Oh that sounds good! I might give it a go, and thanks!
Oh my god I’ve been waiting for you to make this video and I finally got my new iPad last week, what incredible timing THANK YOUUUUU 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Happy to help!
On my iPad the short cuts are new shortcut, take a break, text last image, and Shazam short cut…. What am I doing wrong please ?

How do you put the focus modes icons on the Shortcuts widget. I don’t know if I missed that part or you had it on the previous video that’s the only thing I’m getting stumped on.
Great setup! Love the idea of different screens and layouts for each focus mode. I gotta set some of these up for myself!
You should! So worth it
cool look. now do i have to unwind whole thing in order to add/move/remove apps?
Really really helpful Tom. Will definitely be following this.
Glad you enjoyed!
Are you thinking to do a video where you explain all your focus mode and the which apps are important or usefull to you in every one of them?
Thanks!
I already have one! Here - ruclips.net/video/-jBVVCNMcyg/видео.html
Wow! thanks, just what i needed!@@ByteReview
Brilliant - THANK YOU!
How do you change focus using shortcut widget? I tried to find a tutorial bit i couldn't
Can you also set up each home screen or set of home screens per focus mode when already in it? Then when you disable it you still have to hide them all from the non-focus setup...
Also i find that hiding the widget in the widget area to the left of the home screen or even using the control center gives a clutter free workspace
Okay but howww so you add the focuses on the shortcut widget ? 😢
Great video!! Thank you!
hi, I have ipad 9gen , so I dont have this feature to switch the wallpaper but I only have theset wallpaper , so do you have any tips
can one hide the dock on different pages, i.e. say on personal page I have dock but game one not?
I can’t duplicate home shortcut with same name, how could u do that?
I don’t have shortcut folder 😢 any video you tube can’t help and no one shows step by step
Any reason why the stop button is visible when activating a focus mode shortcut in the widget? If I double tap it. It goes away.
This is amazing 👏..!! Keeping making more video..
The Ipad will fulfill all my needs and dreams as soon as Valve gets the Steam app on it
That app has already existed for months
Great tutorial. Anybody figure out how to stop those annoying shortcut banners whenever the focus is changed?
Thank you !
When i press the home shortcut it only changes wallpaper. But it stays on the current app site. Any suggestions?
love your videos! could you review goodnotes 6?
Yes! Working on that video rn

Great vid. Would love to know what paint that pink is. Looks like it has a touch of purple? Love it.
I'm looking forward to iPadOS 17 so that I can give some of your suggestions a try.

is this iPad only or can it work on iPhone as well?
I hid the home screens but now want to make a new one. I can’t figure out how to unhide them. Can someone please help? Thanks.
How did you get the wallpaper
What is the shortcut?
Help I can’t manage for the apps to change
nice
Please can someone tell me because I don’t understand how to do the shortcut widget
What are you not understanding?
Really makes you wonder why you pay youtube premium to get no ads when every video creator has "sponsors"
there is also an sponsor blocker browser extension which works really good
@@Slim9867can you share the link?
Also you can instantly skip it
👏🏻👏🏻
What happens if you want the same app in more than one Focus Mode? You obviously cannot add them to homescreens more than once(?)
Yep you can! Just drag it in again
@@ByteReview Oh right, so create the Focus Mode first, switch to it, add app then it'll remember it every time yeah?
yep! @@LiamBrazier
You can even have the same app multiple times on the same home screen
Wish I had seen this video earlier. I tried to make different focus modes with different screen and apps, but it didn't work. I didn't it in the wrong way 🤦♀
At least you're here now!
@@ByteReview I do everything you do, but I get a error when I want to link a lockscreen to my productivity focus
Sadly Bandwerk strap are no longer available in the UK “for logistical reasons”. Brexit?
My shortcuts folder is empty?
Can this method work on Android? I have galaxy fold 5 , will be nice if it's work 👍🏻
Did you see that Goodnotes 6 is now subscription?!😮😢
Yep, working on a video for it!
DID I JUST SEE SUPER HEXAGON????
YES
First? Is that still a thing?
How would you describe your iPad in 3 words?
