Apple released iOS 17<\/span><\/span> with new features and improvements, like StandBy mode<\/span><\/span> and upgrades to autocorrect<\/span><\/span>. But one of the less-talked-about new features is Screen Distance<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here’s how to turn Screen Distance on and give your eyes a break.<\/p>\n

Turn on Screen Distance<\/h2>\n

1.<\/strong> Open Settings<\/strong>.
2.<\/strong> Tap Screen Time<\/strong>.
3.<\/strong> Tap Screen Distance<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When you hold your iPhone too close to your face for too long, Screen Distance blocks your screen.<\/p>\n

Your screen remains blocked until you hold your iPhone farther away. Then, your screen shows a check mark, and you have to tap Continue<\/strong> to remove the block.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Turning Screen Distance off<\/h2>\n

Screen Distance is a useful iOS feature that may reduce eyestrain and even decrease the risk of nearsightedness. However, if you find the warnings more annoying than helpful, here’s how to turn Screen Distance off.<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> Open Settings<\/strong>.
2.<\/strong> Tap Screen Time<\/strong>.
3.<\/strong> Tap Screen Distance<\/strong>.
4.<\/strong> Tap the toggle next to Screen Distance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Now you can go back to holding your iPhone as close to your face as you want without interruption from your phone, or your parents.\u00a0<\/p>\n
