This simple phone habit could be doing more harm than you realize (and the quick fix)
It might seem counterintuitive, but placing your phone face down has some surprisingly useful benefits.
When your phone is face down, you can fully engage in conversations, immerse yourself in a task, or simply enjoy the quiet without the magnetic pull of an active screen. Beyond power savings, it also cuts down on the constant visual pings that contribute to notification fatigue, allowing you to check your phone on your terms, not your apps'. Turning this toggle off will disable all vibrations on your iPhone, including those for incoming calls, messages, app notifications, keyboard feedback, and even emergency alerts like earthquake or tsunami warnings.
