It's called Focus, and there are several different versions of it.
You'll find it by holding down on the Do Not Disturb moon button in your Control Center.
But you can also get to the menu by going to Settings > Focus.
"Focus is a feature that helps you reduce distractions and set boundaries," Apple explained.
"When you want to concentrate on a specific activity, you can customize one of the provided Focus options – for example Work, Personal, or Sleep – or create a custom Focus.
"You can use Focus to temporarily silence all notifications, or allow only specific notifications – ones that apply to your task, for example – and let other people and apps know you’re busy."
The main Focus is Do Not Disturb, and shuts out notifications while you're in it.
But there are four other pre-set Focus modes that you might enjoy.
These are Driving, Personal, Sleep, and Work.
The Driving Focus is particularly handy.
When it's turned on, text messages and other notifications are silenced or limited.
You can also ask Siri to read replies to you so you don't have to look at your iPhone.
And incoming calls will only be allowed when your iPhone is connected to CarPlay, a car Bluetooth system, or another hands-free accessory.
Sleep Focus is also extremely useful, especially if you struggle to get a restful night.
First, go to the Health app and set up some sleep goals.
These can be different for weekdays and weekends.
"For the sleep schedules you set, a Sleep Focus helps reduce distractions before and during bedtime," Apple explained.
"For example, it can filter out notifications and phone calls, and it can signal to others that you’re not available.
"You can also schedule a wind down period to begin from 15 minutes to 3 hours before your bedtime.
"Your Sleep Focus begins at the start of your wind down time."
It's possible to turn a Focus on or off at any time.
And you can create your own custom Focus modes too.
If you can't see any of the Focus settings, it's possible that you might not have a new enough version of iOS.
