To temporarily deactivate an active focus, open the Control Centre, then touch-and-hold (i.e., long-touch) the active Focus Button:




Tap the appropriate option to temporarily deactivate the Focus.


Alternatively, tap the ellipsis (…) button - the active focus will transform to a white background:



Tap the active (white) focus button again to deactivate.
