Notifications ruin my map. I am constantly have to move them to see the top of the map. If I turn on focus, my maps do not open.
Hello Joe,
It sounds like you are receiving notifications while driving and you can't open maps while Focus is enabled. We understand how important this is to you and we are here to help.
This article may be able to help: Use the Driving Focus on your iPhone to concentrate on the road
If the issue persists, can you provide a few more details? What exactly happens when you attempt to access Appel Maps while Focus is enabled? What is your exact iOS version? Also, which iPhone are you currently using?
Cheers!
Joe,
Thank you for clarifying.
It may be best to leave feedback for Apple directly. You can leave feedback for them by going to iPhone Feedback
It also wouldn't hurt to contact the apps developer to let them know about this issue. You can contact them by going to this link: How to contact an app developer
Hopefully this helps.
Cheers!
Thanks, The Apple map will open, but not the Google Map. If I do a custom Focus, I can choose people and Apps the over ride the focus, but I can't do that with the driving Focus, that is what I have found, is that correct?
Joe,
Thank you for those details. What exactly happens when you attempt to open Google Maps.
Does this happen when driving focus is automatically turned on or when it is manually turned on via Control Center?
Also, which iPhone are you currently using?
Take Care!
I have iPhone 12 Pro. If I try to open any app (including Google Maps) while the driving focus is on, it says at the bottom that I am driving, and I can say I am not driving if I want to open something. I had the focus set to automatic, because I will not remember it otherwise. The driving focus needs an option to let designated apps function when it is on.
Joe,
That option is available for other Focus modes. Reaching back out to Apple and continuing to work with them on this issue may be the best course.

Good Luck!
Thank you. I chatted with a senior Apple tech...she said it can't be done, but maybe in a future update
Thank you. I chatted with Apple, they have no idea and the instruction was "go to settings, Focus and choose Apps....does anyone have that? I don't.
I can’t use any app while driving focus is on. How can I use my maps but just turn off notifications, which hide parts of the map.
