Many motorists can not just take and tear themselves away from the smartphone while they are behind the wheel. Some do not release the gadget from the hands not only in traffic jams, but also during traffic. IOS 11 is designed to save car owners from such risks.

In iOS 11 appeared quite an original feature called "Do not bother driving". It became available in the second beta version of the operating system and works quite simply. The user needs to open the Control Point and click on the button with the image of the car.

Now, when the iPhone determines that a person is driving a car, the smartphone will block all incoming messages. The company said that the speed is calculated by connecting to Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, although the smartphone has its own accelerometer.

In fact, this is the most "auto-mode", which has been rumored for a long time. But unlike "air mode", it disables not wireless interfaces, but only notifications of any messages or calls, similar to the standard "Do not disturb".

"Do not bother driving" automatically responds to incoming messages with programmed text or a simple notification that the person is behind the wheel and will respond later.

There is also the possibility of adding certain contacts to "Favorites", after which they will be able to successfully call or send a message - it's true, only from the second time. In addition to security, the feature is designed to make iPhone owners more likely to use the Apple CarPlay.

Do not disturb driving "feature in iOS 11 can be turned off at any time by pressing the button that you are a passenger and not a car driver. But we hope that people who do not part with the iPhone even while driving, it still should not be smart enough.
