Can we talk about the fact Apple wants to to hold your phone at arms length, wtf? That would ache after a few mins of doom scrolling 😂

I have this turned on by choice to help me keep my phone a better distance away from my face. BUT I am also near sighted so at night lying in bed I get this warning every 2-3 minutes. VERY ANNOYING. Like can I get a setting where I can set this to a certain time like the day when my glasses are on my face and off at night when I just want to browse reddit in bed. By the way typing this message earned me two more visits from the warning about being too close to my face.

By keeping your phone further away from your face.

Such a dumb feature

Can you read?

Arms length? That’s like 3 feet that’s so uncomfortable

Well as for “what is this” it’s telling you to extend your arm from your face and as for how to get rid of it… extend your arm from your face

Press the button “I’m willing to sacrifice my eyes for more entertainment addiction”

It will go away with you getting older ;)

I am legally blind and I hold my phone very close to face even though I have glass I can’t read unless it’s very close to my face so this warning would mean I won’t be able to use my phone at all lol thankfully it’s not on by default

How do I turn it on? This is great

Googling is hard isn’t it OP

I’d be one unhappy camper ….don’t even start with me today Siri I swear on everything today’s not the day……

Settings > Screen Time > Screen Distance

You can buy an android and problem solved

Seriously though, who actually holds their phone at arm's length? That's just too far.

I turned it on thinking this could benefit me - then it complained in the morning when I just woke up and was still in bed. So I turned it off.

I’ve never even seen this warning before. I don’t like it though. Does that mean that the front facing camera is on all the time? Sounds creepy and draining on your battery.

I wouldn’t mind it if it would go away once I moved the phone away. Instead I have to manually exit the pop up 🤦🏿‍♂️

Does this mean Apple also knows when we’re picking our noses?

What degree of hypermetropia does this kid have to hold their iphone this goshdang close

I hate this message and I find it very annoying, but I’m not turning it off!

I don’t think I can see my phone at arm’s length so maybe my eyesight is already damaged.

Keep your iPhone at arm’s length.

Follow the screen

Your grandmother came back from 1995 and told you you’re sitting too close to the Tv. Lol

Hold your phone closer to your face. Eventually, you’ll never see this warning again…

Your phone no longer wants intimacy

I really wanna know how close you hold your phone

lol, read comments to see if anyone suggested replacing iOS with Android but that will probably get me banned from this sub now, even though I have more iPhones now than alternatives

Aging will naturally have you move your iphone further and further away to see it.

Says the company making vision pro

T-Rex vision matters.

Get some glasses

Having the option is awesome thanks for sharing this feature with is

It is in screen time and there you can turn it off

Isn’t there an education campaign about this myth in 2010 or something, why apple still believe it?

It’s never turned on by default! Wtf are you trying to achieve here?

How do I get this

Is OP holding his phone like this?

Screen time Distance Turn it off That’s all

Read what it says, it literally tells you.
