Miss having a dedicated work phone? Here’s how to configure your iPhone to separate business from personal use
October 19, 2024
Smartphones have enabled us to attend to work from nearly anywhere. But their productivity power also frequently encroaches on our personal lives—making it too easy to reply to business emails or Slack messages when we should be focused on dinner with the fam. Likewise, when we want to get work done, our smartphones can become distraction machines riddled with social media notifications and DMs.
This is why Gen X, boomers, and older millennials often pine for the days when they had separate work and home phones. But what if your smartphone could be both? What if you could still have a dedicated work phone in the office, and a personal phone at home? If you have an iPhone, it’s possible, thanks to an iOS feature called Focus Mode.
