> reduces distractions

Have you looked over the shoulder of somebody trying to "do" something on their phone recently?

If so you might have noticed the constant pings and notifications from dating apps, news sites, random games and cool-apps-that-you've-long-forgotten-but-still-have-location-and-background-services-turned-on.

That's where Reduce Interruptions on the iPhone (or Do Not Disturb) comes in handy.

I mean, some, sure. but it's a choice, and not all choose to do that. and I've watched quite a few (of all ages) escape it when they realize how much it's harming their ability to do what they need to do.
