Temporarily Mute Notifications Inquiries

Notifications have been totally revamped in iOS 15. Focus modes have been added that provide you numerous options to filter alerts based on app, contacts, location and more.

The Notification Summary is able to deliver non-essential alerts at scheduled times. All these changes come along with various recommendations, thrown in by Apple. The idea isn’t bad, the inquiries have the role to highlight the new notifications feature in iOS 15 and make you aware of them.

However, the way they’re triggered needs to be fine tuned. iPhones running on iOS 15 manage to stress you with unnecessary notifications instead of relieving the pressure.
