Do you turn off your phone when you read?

[Lia A]

I don't. I don't find it distracting because no one ever contacts me.

[Sabi_10]

No, I do not switch off my phone when reading, it is usually on vibration or silent mode.

[readsbyarun]

I don't turn off but I keep it on silent mode when I am reading too seriously.

[emidio125]

No, beacause actually I use my phone to read.

[djihane]

No (in case I receive any important calls) but i do turn off the wifi and cellular data so i don't get distracted by notifications. Reading deserves 100% focus if you want to remember and understand everything you're reading and phones are the biggest distractions so keeping them away while you read is best.

[PeterRabitt20]

Sometimes I turn it off, other times I leave it on. It doesn't really bother me that much. I do read books on my phone too.

[Divya Tamilselvan]

Yes, it is the only time I turn off my mobile phone. I hate any kind of distractions while reading books.

[Elena Nechita]

I don't because it's usually not a distraction, especially when I'm reading a really engrosing book.

[Matlhodi Nozwayo]

No. My phone never rings, and even then I cannot focus on reading for hours at a time like most people can. I will typically take a minute or four break here and there by scrolling through my phone a bit.

[stylesreview]

No. I just put my phone aside and ignore it. If the book is interesting enough, I won't look at my phone until I reach where I want to in the book.

[Betelhem Demsie]

Nope.

[Henry Patrovic]

I generally turn it off, unless I’m expecting some important phone call.

[Kirimi254]

Sometimes when I do not want to be disturbed.

[Le-nic Pretorius]

Hi! My phone is always on vibrate or ‘do not disturb’ when I am reading so I can stay focused.

[Julie Gebrosky]

I don’t turn my phone off. If I get a text or something small, I’ll glance to read it, then return to my book. I do t find it all that distracting usually.
