: In an ideal world, we should all ignore our phone when we are driving. But, unfortunately, the sad truth is that many of us cannot part with our smartphone either at night or while driving. Many car enthusiasts cannot do anything about the increase in dopamine when the next one comes to the phone while driving. text message or a notification from a social network.

Large companies such as Apple and are already working on a solution to this problem. Indeed, there is a huge number of drivers in the world who, realizing the danger of using a phone in a car, and also realizing that this is a direct violation of the law, still cannot give up their smartphone while driving. That is why the big companies that make phones are trying to solve this problem by shielding drivers from using the phone.

So, the company in its new operating system iOS 11 introduced a Do Not Disturb mode when you drive. Google has also added a similar feature to its Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL smartphones. Unfortunately, not all Android phones have this option. But now, thanks to the new Android application, you can automatically switch to Do Not Disturb mode on any Android smartphone while you are driving.

The free Driving Detective app builds on the same software Do Not Disturb While Driving, developed by Google for Pixel 2 smartphones. The app works with any device running Android version 4.1 and up. Setting up the application is easy enough. Just download the app and open it on your phone or tablet. As a result, you will be prompted to turn on the Do Not Disturb feature on your phone. And it's all. It couldn't be easier.

The Driving Detective app detects automatically when you and your smartphone start moving at a speed that is not typical for humans. That is, the program constantly measures your current speed.

This is how the application determines that you are moving in transport.

However, there is one problem with this application. Yours may automatically switch to Do Not Disturb mode if you use public transport or taxis. However, while traveling on public transport, you can easily turn off the app by opening it and tapping the switch in the upper corner.
