Focus is one of those features I haven't gotten to work exactly like I want. I want Sleep focus to allow Twitch notifications but even if I add Twitch it I don't get the going live notification. Also in the lock screen it doesn't show anything. I guess I want Sleep Focus to just turn off audio alerts for everything except Twitch and Phone calls from contacts, but otherwise behave the same.

iOS 16 is not supported on my old iPhone SE which is fine as it is quite old. I will upgrade to an SE when the next model comes out.
