I've been playing around with Focus on my iPhone, using Apple's own documentation as a guide. Apple's instructions say:
| To quickly silence all notifications, open Control Center, , tap Focus, then turn on Do Not Disturb.
It's two steps. Tap Focus, then turn on Do Not Disturb. But it seems to work a little different with VoiceOver. If I double tap Focus, it turns on Do Not Disturb. There is no second step. I don't have a choice to select a Focus option other than Do Not Disturb.
Here's another article, Turn on or schedule a Focus on iPhone. It has similar language implying I should be able to select a Focus option. In fact, once I have turned on a Focus, this article says I can schedule when to turn it off. Here's the exact text.
| To choose an ending point for the Focus, tap the Do Not Disturb button , select an option (such as “For 1 hour” or “Until I leave this location”), then tap the Do Not Disturb button again.
I can't find any way to access this interface.
Has anyone opened a feedback issue regarding this? I don't see anything in the Bug Tracker.

Actions rotor
When focusing on the "Focus" button in Control Center, selecting the "open controls" rotor action should reveal your list of focuses. To set how long a focus will be active, focus on it in this list and select the "More options" rotor action.
Nice, thanks
Thanks, Tyler. I owe you. Again.
Or the long press gestures,…
Or the long press gestures, will work too. Voiceover is losing the organized and clear action schema it had a couple years ago and there is more and more redondent elements in both. At least we still have them and google haven't messed up with the gmail app like they did for youtube (yet).
The thing that threw me
The sighted gesture is a tap. The VoiceOver equivalent is a double tap. At least, that's the way it has been since VoiceOver's inception. But now, the sighted single-tap is doing something that the VoiceOver double-tap doesn't, and that's going to make it difficult to use documentation designed for the sighted interface. Even more difficult than it already was.
