Love the idea of a phone not making noise if its owner is a certain distance away!
It also stops eavesdroppers and prying eyes who go over and press the home button to get a glance at who's texting the lonely phone sitting on the counter.
- kough 8y agoDon't you want your phone to make noise so that you can come back and get it because you have a phone call or message? This makes no sense to me.
- tinus_hn 8y agoIt’s antisocial to leave your phone about so it disturbs other people while you’re gone. It’s a mobile phone, take it with you if you need to receive calls or messages. If you don’t need to receive calls or messages and want to leave it somewhere, put it on silent.
- mattkrause 8y agoSurely it depends on where you leave it? Leaving it ringing for hours in a crowded office is obnoxious; leaving it on a side table in your house while you do some chores is totally normal.

- tinus_hn 8y agoThen it doesn’t disturb other people, does it?
- dpcan 8y agoJust referring to around the house or my shop really. I leave my phone just lying wherever, texts still come in. If it knew I wasn't nearby and I left it on the dining room table at home, at least it wouldn't buzz to disrupt the rest of my family.
