Set up a Do Not Disturb Commute Shortcut for iPhone

Your daily commute is often the only downtime you have between the stress of the office and the chaos of home life. Having your phone constantly buzz with non-urgent group chat messages while you are trying to navigate traffic or listen to a podcast completely ruins that peace. A do not disturb commute shortcut for iPhone ensures that your driving time remains strictly your own.

How this commute silencing shortcut works

The shortcut launches automatically the moment your iPhone connects to your car's Bluetooth or CarPlay. It shifts your iPhone into a dedicated 'Driving Focus' mode, muting all incoming vibrations and sound pings. If a friend texts you, it can quietly send an automated reply stating you are currently driving. Once you park, it returns to normal.
