How to turn off drive mode on iPhone?
I recently discovered that my iPhone automatically enables Drive Mode whenever I get into my car. While I understand that this feature is designed for safety, I often find it more of a hindrance than a help. I don’t want my notifications to be silenced, and I’d prefer to have full control over my device even when I’m driving. Moreover, this mode sometimes activates in situations where I’m not even driving, which can be quite frustrating. Could someone please explain the steps I need to follow to turn off Drive Mode on my iPhone? Any detailed guidance on this would be greatly appreciated.

Here’s what you do to turn off Drive Mode:
1. Head over to Settings.
2. Tap Do Not Disturb.
3. Under Do Not Disturb While Driving, tap Activate.
4. Select When Connected to Car Bluetooth if you wish it to work only then, or select Manually to prevent automatic activation.
These steps will stop Drive Mode from engaging automatically and will only turn on when you decide to enable it.
The process to disable Drive Mode on your iPhone:
- Access Settings.
- Tap on Do Not Disturb.
- Go to the Do Not Disturb While Driving section.
- Click Activate.
- Choose Manually to stop automatic enablement.
This ensures you have control over when Drive Mode activates, making your driving experience less restrictive.
If Drive Mode is an irritation, here’s how to disable it:
1. Open Settings.
2. Navigate to Do Not Disturb.
3. Tap Activate under Do Not Disturb While Driving.
4. Choose Manually.
5. Ensure under Auto-Reply To you choose your preference for whom the auto-reply messages should go to.
This makes Drive Mode activate only when you manually do it.
