So Apple/Google need to come up with a geofenced protocol where once you enter it, the phone enters DND by default. Which means multiple calls from same number go thru, and it could be overwritten for doctors and such, but in general once you walk in the fence phones are dulled.
You could even add a limit networking and app function without entering some verbose acknowledgment that you are being a rude guest or some such.
Most reasonable people would appreciate the assist to have phone realize you are at the opera and silence itself for you.
- judge2020 4y agoI see 0 reason why Apple or Google would do this. Imagine the outrage, and the potential for abuse is exponential (not even abuse: you wouldn't be able to use this feature is most of NYC or any mixed use property since you'd inadvertently take out anyone living above the businesses). Apple already has a solution for this. If you have something on your calendar, like a party invite, it'll suggest to turn on DND until you leave / until the end of the event. No forced "your phone is now disabled, go talk to people" necessary.
- nytesky 4y agoI haven’t seen the auto DND but putting DND in my calendar events (and could be included with invites/wallet tickets which we would then accept) is a pretty nice idea too. True it is ripe for abuse, hence why I was suggesting a geofence which requires setting up a physical waypoints around the enclosed space — not just a Wi-Fi hotspot telling your phone to keep it down. They could require a key purchased from Apple which then could be reported for abuse. Probably cheaper than foam case locks.
