Watch series 7, sleep focus/mode
Anyone know how to switch sleep focus mode off? I’ve set the schedule time it comes on at that time but won’t switch off at the set time, just stays on, on the phone and the watch. What’s the point of scheduling if it won’t switch off at the set time only switches on? Am I missing something?

Does Always-on screen require watchOS 8 as a minimum deployment target?
I just updated my app for the always-on screen and watchOS 8. I mainly used the simulator while testing, but when I tested the app on the device the always-on screen behavior the same as for watchOS 7. When I updated my minimum deployment target to watchOS 8 the always-on screen was working. Is this feature not backwards compatible at all? Does it require the app to be compiled for watchOS 8 or is there any option to support watchOS 6 & 7 as well? I used Xcode 13 RC for testing this. In the article Designing Your App for the Always On State it states: Apps compiled for watchOS 8 and later have Always On enabled by default. You can disable this feature by setting the WKSupportsAlwaysOnDisplay key to false in the WatchKit Extension’s Info.plist file. Users can also disable Always On for the entire device or on a per-app basis by choosing Settings > Display & Brightness > Always On. It could be interpreted as: It needs watchOS 8 as a deployment target and in it works when you use Xcode 13 with the watchOS 8 toolchain

Text notifications with watch
I do not receive text notifications on my phone when wearing my watch. It is super frustrating. I am also not feeling haptics or hearing any notifications on my watch. This needs to be resolved and has not always been the case.

Region Base User Notification API
What's the API to trigger region base user notification on watchOS? I look at this document https://developer.apple.com/documentation/usernotifications/unlocationnotificationtrigger and seems like the functionality is available since watchOS3. Is there a new API instead?
