Ever since I started gaming on an iPhone, the accidental touches have been the stuff of nightmares. Particularly in multiplayer games like COD Mobile, Apex Legends, and so on. If you’re one, who’s been dealing with the accidental touches while gaming on an iPhone or an iPad, you know how much iOS needs a “game mode.”
Taking note, I’ve come up with a solution that will prevent accidental touches and let you enjoy your gaming session in peace. In this article, we’ll take a look at how you can make your game mode on your iPhone.
Meanwhile, before we get to the part of getting your iPhone ready for your next gaming session, we shall note why the iPhone needs a proper game mode built into iOS. A game mode that triggers whenever you launch a game.
Need for a game mode for iPhone!
When we talk about accidental touches, it is not just confined to the swipes from the top of the screen that opens up the notification center; but also the swipes from the bottom of the screen, which minimizes the App.
We know this is quite frustrating, especially in those crucial moments where a second’s lag can get you killed in a game. Meanwhile, after you reopen the App or close the notification or control center, there’s a minor lag. Which, again, can get you killed amid a fight in games like COD Mobile, Apex Legends, PUBG New State, and others.
However, things are not just limited to this. When in the middle of the game, the iPhone shows a notification of a call or a text, and you accidentally tap on it, you’re again in that scenario. This is why the iPhone needs a proper game mode, to silence the notifications, to cancel out the accidental swipes from the top or bottom of the screen.
And in this scenario, the iPhone is losing to its Android counterparts. While we can only hope that Apple soon integrates a game mode for iPhone in the next iOS update. For the time being, you can enjoy your gaming sessions by making your own game mode for your iPhone.

For the ones who do not know how a game mode works, it boosts a smartphone’s gaming performance by performing a few sets of actions. One, it silences the notifications; second, it boosts the network speed; third, it cancels out accidental swipes from the top or bottom of the screen. Keeping these things in mind (apart from the network boost thing, which the iPhone doesn’t let you control), here’s what you need to do.

You can either make a simple game mode for your iPhone via the “Focus.” Now, this will only silence the notifications but will not save you from accidental swipes. If you’re okay with the accidental swipes, you should go with this one. However, if you want a butter smooth gaming experience, feel free to jump to the second part.
Game mode on iPhone via Focus
1. Step one, swipe down to open the control center and long press the Focus button.
2. From here on, you can customize the already existing ‘Gaming Focus’ on iOS to silence the notifications or make your own from scratch.
3. If you wish to make your own, click on the + button and select custom in the next menu.
