Why isn't the texting app to be turned on or off in the focus modes?

Every app should be able to be turned on or off. You would think that the phone and regular texting apps would be included in this feature.

Hey nickthaskater,
Focus Mode is a new setting available for Galaxy devices operating on Android OS Version 10 (Q). It is located in the Digital Wellbeing and parental control settings and allows you to block out distracting apps when trying to get in the zone. Whether you're at work or just need some more time, you can customise and remove certain applications from notifying you or stop yourself from opening apps by temporarily disabling them.
Please follow the below steps on your phone and get back to us with the results and add some screenshots.
1. Head into your Settings > Digital Wellbeing and parental controls
2. Tap your preferred Focus Mode or create your own by selecting Add
3. Tap Add to add certain apps that you want to use while Focus Mode is enabled or select Start to start using that Focus Mode.
4. Tap on the apps you would like to be able to use while Focus Mode is enabled then select Done to apply the changes.
5. You will be able to view all apps that can be accessed while that particular Focus Mode is enabled, if you're happy with your choice select Start to enable Focus Mode
6. If you would like to disable Focus Mode you can easily turn off this setting via your Quick Settings or by tapping End focus mode

Hi justen7799, You could only able to select apps that can be accessed while that particular Focus Mode is enabled. If the app is not listed then it is not in focus mode.
