WatchOS 9 Beta 2: Focus modes don’t sync with iPhone correctly
Not sure if anybody else has the same problem with beta 2. When ‘mirror my iPhone’ is set in the Watch Focus mode settings, the wrong mode is selected on the Watch.
For example, the iPhone and all other synchronised devices are set to a ‘Personal’ Focus, but the Watch has set itself to Do Not Disturb.
In my example, this means my Watch is silencing all notifications, but my iPhone and all other devices only silence those I’ve specifically blocked.
Bug will be submitted of course.

Check which mode is set on the watch in the CC of it. For me only the icon displayed on the watch face and in apps is wrong.
The icon is indeed wrong and the CC shows Personal in this example, but the behaviour is wrong, it’s blocking everything.
Hmm, in my case it seems to be correct, like I‘ve set it for the specific focus.
Appreciate knowing that, thanks for the reply. I might create some test modes and see what happens… or just ride it out until B3.
You are welcome.
Sharing information is important to find bugs and to be able to be more specific in a bug report.
have you found a fix for this? Whenever my watch is on any focus mode it's also blocking everything, even when the mode isn't set to!
The fix for me was beta 3. Back to working as it should (and was in beta 1).
