How To Turn Off Driving Mode On iPhone

Your iPhone, just like an Android device, comes with a “driving mode.” It is named Do Not Disturb While Driving and it is designed to decrease distractions and help you drive more safely.

If you are not aware, your iOS device starts this mode automatically when it senses you’re driving or you can enable it manually when you enter your car, plus it can be deactivated at any time. See How To Turn Off Driving Mode On iPhone.

What The iPhone Driving Mode Does:

Once your iPhone is in Do Not Disturb While Driving mode, it simply decreases notifications, distractions, and screen activity, just so you can concentrate on driving. For example:

• Your iPhone display will remain dark and notifications will be silenced, just like the regular Do Not Disturb mode. If you receive an SMS, the device will send an automatic reply informing the sender that you are driving.
• The reply will advise that the sender should reply with “urgent,” if it is an emergency.
• By default, phone calls from people on your Do Not Disturb exceptions will come in, and anybody who calls you twice in a row will get through as well.
• Lock screen notifications will be visible, including turn-by-turn driving instructions.
• A passenger can take control of the device by clicking “I’m not driving.”

If your car is home to Bluetooth, it is best to go for that mode because it is more dependable. If you select “Automatically,” you will see that your device will enter driving mode regularly when you’re a passenger in other people’s cars.

More Information On iPhone:

The iPhone is a line of smartphones designed and marketed by Apple Inc. that use Apple’s iOS mobile operating system. The first-generation iPhone was announced by then-Apple CEO Steve Jobs on January 9, 2007. Since then, Apple has annually released new iPhone models and iOS updates. As of November 1, 2018, more than 2.2 billion iPhones had been sold.

The iPhone has a user interface built around a multi-touch screen. It connects to cellular networks or Wi-Fi and can make calls, browse the web, take pictures, play music, and send and receive emails and text messages. Since the iPhone’s launch, further features have been added, including larger screen sizes, shooting video, waterproofing, the ability to install third-party mobile apps through an app store, and many accessibility features.

Up to iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, iPhones used a layout with a single button on the front panel that returns the user to the home screen. Since iPhone X, iPhone models have switched to a nearly bezel-less front screen design with app switching activated by gesture recognition.

The iPhone is one of the two largest smartphone platforms in the world alongside Android, forming a large part of the luxury market. The iPhone has generated large profits for Apple, making it one of the world’s most valuable publicly traded companies.

The first-generation iPhone was described as “revolutionary” and a “game-changer” for the mobile phone industry and subsequent models have also garnered praise. The iPhone has been credited with popularizing the smartphone and slate form factor, and with creating a large market for smartphone apps, or the “app economy“. As of January 2017, Apple’s App Store contained more than 2.2 million applications for the iPhone.
