Why am I seeing the Person icon on my iPhone?
Focus Modes are the special features that isolates you from all the possible distractions on your iPhone, giving you a chance to focus on your current objective. Apart from the standard Focus Modes like Work, Personal, Driving, there are a few Focus Modes that you can customize to your own choice.
Now, the reason why you are seeing the Person icon on the iPhone is that because the iPhone is currently using the Personal Focus mode on the device. The Person icon will only disappear when you turn off the Personal focus mode from the iPhone Settings.
There are two ways you can do this. The first one that we have mentioned has the least number of steps, and it is the quickest. But, if you can’t turn off the Personal Focus mode from there, you may remove it as well.
Fix 1 – Disable the Personal Focus mode
The direct way it to put off the Personal focus mode is to use the Control Center path.
Step 1 – Unlock your iPhone and slide down through the display to open the Control Center.

Step 3 – So, just tap the “Personal” button there to turn off the Personal focus mode.
The moment you turn off the Personal focus mode, the person icon will disappear from the iPhone status bar.
Fix 2 – Delete the Personal Focus
Apart from the Control Center, you can get rid of the Personal Focus mode completely.
Step 1 – To do this, just open up the Settings window.
