Focus Status & Share Focus Status App Store Listing in Simplified Chinese — 专注状态 / 向联系人共享专注状态 & zh-Hans Copy

Who this is for

Western indie iOS developers — US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia — whose product page prominently markets Focus Status contact visibility on iPhone:

• Share Focus Status with contacts — gallery frames or description bullets showing Settings → Focus → Focus Status, or Settings → Focus → [a Focus] → Focus Status, with the Share Focus Status toggle enabled
• Silenced-notifications status in Messages — marketing that contacts see Focus or 在专注中 instead of last-seen timestamps or read receipts when you have notifications silenced
• Mode-agnostic status — copy that explains contacts learn you are in Focus but not whether you picked Work, Sleep, Personal, or another profile
• Share Across Devices & Reply Anyway — screenshot badges for cross-device Focus Status sync or urgent Reply Anyway flows in Messages when Focus is on
• Messages, productivity, and wellness apps — indie apps whose en-US listing sells respectful messaging during Focus, contact-visible quiet status, or 专注状态 vocabulary buyers expect in China

You finished the en-US listing. The zh-Hans row exists or is in progress, but China buyers still see English searchable fields and English Focus Status screenshot captions. You need paste-ready Connect storefront text — not a contractor to implement Focus Status APIs or Messages delivery-receipt engineering.

If your hero story is Work Focus schedules, Do Not Disturb profiles, or Allow Notifications exception lists — not contact-visible Focus Status — see Focus modes & Do Not Disturb listing (zh-Hans). If the entire China page is still English on every field, start with China App Store still shows English or the AppLocale product page.

What Apple Focus Status is — and what contacts actually see

Apple ships Focus Status under Settings → Focus → Focus Status (labeled Share Focus Status in some iOS versions) and per-mode under Settings → Focus → [a Focus] → Focus Status. When enabled, approved contacts in Messages can see that you have notifications silenced — they see Focus or a localized equivalent instead of a last-seen time or delivery receipt. They do not see which Focus mode is active. Western indie listings often show one or more of these surfaces on the US product page. AppLocale covers paste-ready zh-Hans copy for whichever your screenshots and description already claim:

• Share Focus Status toggle (共享专注状态 / 向联系人共享专注状态) — master switch that lets contacts know notifications are silenced. Gallery frames may show Settings → Focus → Focus Status with Share Focus Status enabled.
• Contact-visible Focus indicator (在专注中) — Messages thread UI where contacts read Focus or 在专注中 instead of "Last seen" or "Delivered" when you are in Focus. Marketing art may highlight the status line contacts see without naming your mode.
• Allow Focus Status (允许专注状态) — per-contact or global permission framing when your English gallery shows who may see your Focus Status.
• Share Across Devices (跨设备共享) — when Focus Status syncs across iPhone, iPad, and Mac on the same Apple ID. Include cross-device vocabulary only when your US listing already shows that toggle.
• Reply Anyway from Messages — urgent-message bypass when a contact sends a time-sensitive text during Focus. Include Reply Anyway copy only when your English gallery already shows that workflow.

Your gallery may lead with a Share Focus Status settings capture on one frame and a Messages thread showing 在专注中 on the next. zh-Hans caption lines should name the correct surface per frame — a Share Focus Status toggle sheet is not a Work Focus schedule picker and not a Notification Center history swipe.

Focus Status is not Focus Modes, Notification Center, or Announce Notifications

Focus-adjacent apps blur several shop guides indie teams conflate. AppLocale covers listing metadata only — Focus Status contact visibility marketing on the product page:

• Focus Status & Share Focus Status (this page) — contacts see silenced-notifications status in Messages, Focus instead of last-seen, Share Across Devices, Reply Anyway; Settings → Focus → Focus Status vocabulary.
• Focus modes & Do Not Disturb (different) — Work, Personal, Sleep, Driving, Fitness, Mindfulness profiles, scheduled Focus, Allow Notifications exceptions, Time Sensitive alerts. See Focus modes listing guide — not the Share Focus Status toggle alone.
• Notification Center (different) — swipe-down notification history, grouped alerts, clear-all actions. See Notification Center listing guide — not contact-visible Focus status in Messages.
• Announce Notifications (different) — Siri reads notifications aloud through AirPods or CarPlay under Accessibility → Spoken Content. See Announce Notifications listing guide — not silenced-notifications status visible to contacts.
• Push notification permission (different) — first-run Allow Notifications onboarding. Not Focus Status contact visibility.

Your screenshots may show Messages and Settings icons on adjacent frames. Listing copy should name the correct surface per frame — a Messages thread showing 在专注中 is not a Do Not Disturb schedule sheet and not Siri reading notifications aloud through headphones.

Listing metadata vs Focus Status engineering vs screenshot design

Focus Status-aware apps blur three workstreams indie teams merge:

• App Store Connect listing metadata — name, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text, screenshot overlay captions on the zh-Hans row. AppLocale scope.
• Focus Status / Messages behavior in the app — respecting system Focus, delivery-receipt UI, or contact-status surfaces inside your binary. Engineering scope — not AppLocale.
• Screenshot composition — device frames, Messages thread mockups, Settings → Focus Status captures. Design scope — AppLocale delivers caption lines you paste or hand to a designer.

This page covers the first bucket for Focus Status-centric product pages — Share Focus Status contact visibility, not Focus mode profile schedules and not notification history UI.

English Focus Status phrases China buyers still see

Common en-US marketing lines that leak onto the China product page when zh-Hans caption fields are empty or copy-pasted from the US gallery:

• Focus Status — generic badge on Settings → Focus → Focus Status captures
• Share Focus Status — toggle label left in Latin script on status-sharing frames
• Share Focus Status with contacts — description bullet still English when subtitle is zh-Hans
• Contacts see Focus — Messages marketing callout when contacts read Focus instead of last-seen
• Silenced notifications — status line explaining notifications are muted without naming the active mode
• Share Across Devices — cross-device sync toggle still English on settings screenshots
• Reply Anyway — urgent-message bypass badge still Latin on Messages workflow frames
• Allow Focus Status — permission toggle marketing left untranslated

Chinese buyers searching for 专注状态 or 共享专注状态 still land on English-only overlays — that reads as an incomplete localization pass, not a bilingual Focus Status-aware messaging app.

EN → zh-Hans listing phrase examples (Focus Status scope)

Paste-ready zh-Hans should match how Chinese App Store readers describe Focus Status contact visibility — not a word-for-word mirror of English Settings strings. AppLocale adapts these patterns to your English source:

• Focus Status → 专注状态 — names the status-sharing feature buyers recognize from Settings → Focus
• Share Focus Status → 共享专注状态 or 向联系人共享专注状态 — toggle and description marketing for contact-visible status
• Allow Focus Status → 允许专注状态 — permission framing when gallery shows who may see status
• Contacts see Focus → 联系人可见“在专注中” or 联系人看到专注状态 — Messages thread status line marketing
• Silenced notifications status → 通知已静音状态 or 静音通知状态 — when copy explains contacts know alerts are silenced
• In Focus (contact-visible) → 在专注中 — status indicator contacts read instead of last-seen
• Focus mode status (without naming the mode) → 专注模式状态 — mode-agnostic visibility vocabulary
• Share Across Devices → 跨设备共享专注状态 — when gallery shows cross-device sync toggle
• Reply Anyway → 仍要回复 or context-appropriate urgent-reply phrasing — only when your English gallery shows Messages Reply Anyway

zh-Hans Focus Status captions can differ idiomatically from en-US overlays when the on-screen feature is the same — avoid mirroring comma-heavy English marketing onto tight screenshot art.

Why English Focus Status copy hurts on the China storefront

Messaging, productivity, and wellness apps compete on the China App Store. Buyers evaluate contact-visible quiet status before they enable Share Focus Status:

• Focus Status value buried in Latin script — English "Share Focus Status" on zh-Hans frames signals the team did not finish China marketing
• Messages status lines left untranslated — contacts see Focus in English on screenshot mockups when caption fields are empty
• Description mismatch — zh-Hans body copy mentions 专注状态 while screenshot overlays still say "Focus Status"
• Search intent gap — subtitle and keywords may miss 专注状态, 共享专注状态, or 向联系人共享专注状态 terms buyers actually type
• Conflated with Focus Modes — Work Focus and Sleep Focus schedule copy on the same page without separating Share Focus Status contact visibility
• Competitor contrast — native zh-Hans messaging apps in the same category show Chinese Focus Status overlays; English badges look like an import

Better zh-Hans Focus Status marketing copy improves product-page clarity for China traffic — it does not replace Messages engineering, Focus mode schedule UI, or Apple review decisions.

Common mistakes on zh-Hans Focus Status listings

• Only localizing title and description — screenshot overlays still say "Share Focus Status" and "Contacts see Focus" on every Messages frame
• Conflating with Focus Modes — Work Focus schedule and Do Not Disturb profile copy belongs on the Focus modes guide, not Share Focus Status contact-visibility marketing
• Conflating with Notification Center — swipe-down notification history copy needs the Notification Center guide, not Messages Focus status lines
• Conflating with Announce Notifications — Siri read-aloud through headphones needs the Announce Notifications guide, not silenced-notifications status visible to contacts
• Revealing the active Focus mode — zh-Hans copy promises contacts see "Work Focus" when Apple only shows mode-agnostic 在专注中
• Machine-translating "Share Focus Status" literally — awkward strings instead of idiomatic 向联系人共享专注状态 phrasing Chinese reviewers use
• Assuming Focus-aware app = localized storefront — respecting Focus in the binary does not auto-fill Connect overlay fields
• English text burned into PNG exports — Connect caption fields are Chinese but the image file still embeds English Focus Status headlines (a design fix, not a metadata paste)

What good zh-Hans Focus Status listing copy looks like

Focus Status-centric listings name contact-visible quiet status in plain zh-Hans — not a word-for-word mirror of English brochure lines:

• Subtitle — one clause on status-sharing value: "向联系人共享专注状态" or "消息中显示在专注中" — not vague "提升专注效率"
• Keywords — mix category terms with Focus Status intent (专注状态, 共享专注状态, 在专注中); see Simplified Chinese keywords guide
• Description — short paragraphs for Share Focus Status, contact-visible silenced-notifications status, Share Across Devices, and Reply Anyway if you market them — mirror screenshot sequence
• Screenshot overlays — short lines naming what the frame shows: 专注状态, 共享专注状态, 在专注中, 允许专注状态, 跨设备共享 — not "Share Focus Status" pasted through machine translation
• Mode-accurate claims — when your gallery shows mode-agnostic status only, caption sheet does not name Work or Sleep Focus
• Voice match — same 你/您 and punctuation habits as your other zh-Hans fields

Connect checklist before you order Focus Status listing copy

1. Open App Store → Chinese (Simplified) — confirm the zh-Hans row exists; note which fields are still English
2. Audit Focus Status screenshot overlays — export English caption text per frame; list lines mentioning Focus Status, Share Focus Status, contacts see Focus, Share Across Devices, or Reply Anyway
3. Verify subtitle and keywords — do they mention Focus Status workflows in Chinese or still mirror en-US?
4. Check description bullets — Focus Status feature paragraphs may be English-only even when title is zh-Hans
5. Separate Focus Status vs Focus Modes scope — if frames show Work Focus schedules or Do Not Disturb profiles, confirm whether you need status copy or mode copy (see Focus modes guide)
6. Separate Notification Center scope — if frames show swipe-down notification history, confirm whether you need Focus Status copy or Notification Center copy (see Notification Center guide)
7. Plan re-export if text is burned in — Connect caption fields help only when overlays are editable text layers, not English baked into PNGs
8. Verify China in availability — Pricing and Availability includes China if the storefront should show zh-Hans copy

What AppLocale delivers

For one app on the zh-Hans row, paste-ready Simplified Chinese listing copy for Focus Status-marketing fields you specify:

• Title, subtitle, keywords, description — zh-Hans rewrite aligned with your English Focus Status positioning
• Promotional text — when bundled in your brief
• Screenshot overlay and caption lines — zh-Hans lines for frames showing Focus Status, Share Focus Status, contacts see Focus, silenced-notifications status, Allow Focus Status, Share Across Devices, Reply Anyway, and Settings → Focus → Focus Status workflows
• English source alignment — when your en-US Focus Status copy also needs tightening, we note both sides in the deliverable
• 24-hour turnaround — delivered to the email on your Stripe receipt after checkout and intake

Human rewrite from your current English listing — not a machine translation dump. Default $79 scope targets listing metadata and Focus Status overlay lines; ask if you also need Focus Modes-specific copy bundled — see the AppLocale product page.

• Does not configure Announce Notifications, Notification Center UI, or push interruption levels

• Does not upload media or click Save for you in App Store Connect

• Does not manage Apple Search Ads, review-reply retainers, or ASO retainers

FAQ

Does enabling Share Focus Status auto-translate Focus Status marketing on the China storefront?

No. Focus Status is a system setting — it does not fill App Store Connect localization rows. If zh-Hans fields are empty, the China product page falls back to en-US copy.

Why do Share Focus Status captions still show English on China?

Screenshot overlay lines are per localization. English Focus Status badges on the en-US gallery do not propagate to zh-Hans until you paste Chinese caption text into the Chinese screenshot set.

What do I send after AppLocale payment?

Your live App Store listing URL, current English listing fields, Focus Status screenshot overlay lines (Share Focus Status, contacts see Focus, Allow Focus Status, Share Across Devices, Reply Anyway), target locale (zh-Hans), and any frame counts. Reply from the email address on your Stripe receipt — we deliver to that Stripe email within 24 hours.

How is this different from the Focus Modes listing page?

Focus Modes marketing covers Do Not Disturb, Work/Personal/Sleep/Driving/Fitness/Mindfulness profiles, scheduled Focus, and notification exception lists. This page covers Share Focus Status contact visibility — what contacts see in Messages when notifications are silenced, without revealing which mode is active.

How is this different from Notification Center or Announce Notifications guides?

Notification Center covers swipe-down notification history. Announce Notifications covers Siri reading notifications aloud through headphones or CarPlay. This page covers contact-visible silenced-notifications status — Focus or 在专注中 instead of last-seen in Messages.

Which zh-Hans terms fit Share Focus Status on screenshots?

Common patterns: 专注状态 for Focus Status, 共享专注状态 or 向联系人共享专注状态 for Share Focus Status, 允许专注状态 for Allow Focus Status, 在专注中 for contact-visible status, and 跨设备共享专注状态 for Share Across Devices. AppLocale matches phrasing to what your English source actually claims.

Can you implement Focus Status or Messages code for my app?

No. We rewrite Connect listing metadata only. Focus Status behavior and Messages integration in Xcode are outside AppLocale scope.

Will localized Focus Status copy improve Search ranking in China?

We do not guarantee keyword position or download growth. Apple indexes title, subtitle, keywords, and description for Search. Complete zh-Hans Focus Status marketing helps buyers who already landed on your product page understand contact-visible quiet status.

How much does AppLocale cost?

$79 one-time via Stripe checkout. No subscription. Seller is Fortune Insight, LLC.

What is AppLocale not?

Not Focus Modes schedule engineering, not Focus Filter API marketing as the lead story, not Announce Notifications or Notification Center listing copy, not Messages API engineering, not screenshot design, not ranking guarantees, not QuantRadar, and not investment or legal advice. We do not invent reviews, ratings, or traffic numbers.
