iPhone 11 Pro Using your smartphone differently from home

[circatee]

As most of us are working from home, I would be curious to know if you are using your smartphone any differently to your normal day to day?

In my case, when out and about, at the office and such, I would only ever use my smartphone with the vibrate option. Hearing everyone's different ringtones, beeps and such, always sounded a tad bit annoying.

Since 1st April, being at home, I now seem to leave my smartphone on sound, versus vibrate.
Even yesterday, I purchased a new ringtone. That is something I have not done in almost 8 years or so...

I use an apple watch so it stays on silent 24/7, but I completely understand why you would switch it to ring right now.

I barely use my iPhone, my iPad has become my primary device since sheltering in place...

I don't use mute unless I need to silence the device. I'm a Gen-Xer who grew up with the TV as background noise. Ignoring a notification is ridiculously easy.

Lol, same. 🤣

I use my phone much, much less. Usually for authentication processes tied to my phone number.
