How to disconnect from mobile
If you need to take a break from social networks, messaging apps, calls or the mythical Candy Crush , we are going to tell you the best way to configure your iPhone to achieve it.
Obviously we are going to give you the guidelines to disconnect from your mobile, but one of the important ones to achieve it lies in you and it is neither more nor less than your willpower.
It's very difficult, suddenly, to disconnect from the iPhone. Don't think it's easy, but it can be done. Give yourself a break from time to time and enjoy life, friends, family, a walk on the beach as it used to be.
Steps to disconnect from the mobile whenever you want:
There are only three steps that you will have to take to forget about your mobile for as long as you want.
Turn off app notifications:
Turn off notifications
The first thing we recommend you do is turn off notifications from the apps that you use the most. To do this, we enter Settings/Notifications and from the apps that you do not want to receive sounds, strips and red balloons that indicate the messages received, click on them and deactivate "Allow notifications"
In this way, for example, if we deactivate the option in Instagram,even if we receive a message, we will receive a like but will not notify it in any way. Only when we enter the app will we see everything new that we have received.
Thus, by not seeing red balloons on the application icon, or sounds that indicate that we have received, for example, messages, we will not be bitten by looking at our mobile.
Enable Do Not Disturb mode:
Activating the "do not disturb mode", even if they call us, we receive some notification, etc. the iPhone will not notify us of anything. Only by accessing the mobile will we see if they have called us, sent messages, etc.
Do Not Disturb Feature
Very important, for it to take effect we must deactivate the “Scheduled” option . If we deactivate "do not disturb" it will never be deactivated. If we leave the "Scheduled" option activated, at the end of the period of hours in which we configured it to be activated, this function will be deactivated again.
To activate it you must go to Settings/Do not disturb and activate the function.
We warn you that we can always configure this function with limits and thus allow people to call us who we don't mind being called. For example, the contacts that we have added to favorites.
Deactivate WhatsApp to disconnect 100% from the mobile:
Being the app that surely stresses us all the most and the one we use the most daily, we recommend you deactivate it as we explain in the following video.
Doing this and without ever connecting to a Wi-Fi network, when we send a message to the contacts who send it to us, it will only appear a check, which means that They have sent it but it has not reached us.
Click on the following link if you want to know the meaning of the checks or ticks in WhatsApp messages.
It is good that, especially to the people you care about, you send them a message advising of your disconnection.To do this, create a mailing list, choose the people you want to inform that you are going to disconnect for a season and send it. This way they can choose other means to communicate important things to you, in case they need to.
And this way you can disconnect from your mobile for as long as you want. On vacation, during weekends, at certain times of the day. It is up to your choice.
Without further ado and hoping to have helped you, we look forward to seeing you in our next article.
Greetings.
