How can I remove driving mode on my iPhone?

Whenever I start driving, my iPhone automatically switches to driving mode, and while I understand its importance for safety, it can be quite inconvenient at times. The feature mutes notifications and restricts access to apps, which I sometimes need even when I’m on the road. I’ve been trying to figure out how to completely remove or disable driving mode from my iPhone as it constantly disrupts my connectivity. It activates every time I’m in my car, and it’s becoming a hassle to have to manually turn it off each time. I’m looking for a way to prevent this feature from activating automatically or to remove it entirely from my iPhone settings.

Disabling driving mode notifications can also reduce interruptions without entirely disabling the feature. To lessen the disruptions:

  1. Open ‘Settings.’
  2. Tap ‘Do Not Disturb.’
  3. Scroll down to the ‘Auto-Reply’ section.
  4. Select ‘Auto-Reply To’ and choose ‘No One.’
  5. Tap ‘Back’ and then select ‘Auto-Reply’ and either leave the message blank or modify it as necessary.

With these settings, your iPhone won’t send auto-replies when driving mode activates, allowing you to stay focused on the notifications you need.

I’ve dealt with a similar issue. Here’s how I managed the automatic activation of driving mode on my iPhone:

  1. Go to the Settings app.
  2. Tap on ‘Do Not Disturb.’
  3. Look for ‘Do Not Disturb While Driving’ and tap on ‘Activate.’
  4. Choose ‘Automatically,’ ‘When Connected to Car Bluetooth,’ or ‘Manually’ based on your preference. I selected ‘When Connected to Car Bluetooth’ because it limits the mode to when my iPhone connects to my car’s Bluetooth system.

This way, driving mode only turns on if my phone connects to my car, which works better for my needs.

To prevent your iPhone from activating driving mode automatically, adjust the Do Not Disturb While Driving settings as follows:

  1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
  2. Scroll down and select ‘Do Not Disturb.’
  3. Under ‘Do Not Disturb While Driving,’ tap on ‘Activate.’
  4. Select ‘Manually’ to stop the feature from turning on automatically while driving.

By doing this, driving mode will only activate when you manually choose it.

To completely disable the driving mode feature, follow these steps:

  1. Open your iPhone’s Settings.
  2. Select ‘Control Center.’
  3. Tap ‘Customize Controls.’
  4. Under ‘More Controls,’ find ‘Do Not Disturb While Driving.’
  5. Tap the red minus sign next to it to remove it from the Control Center if it is already included under ‘INCLUDE.’

This change ensures that driving mode won’t activate accidentally, since it will no longer be easily accessible.
