Kamil Žemlička Regime Do not disturb while driving works very similarly to classic mode Do not disturb, however, offers specific extra features. Its activation options are unique, where you can turn it on either manually or it is activated when connected to Bluetooth in the car (CarPlay or car radio) or automatically based on motion detection. In the case of the last mentioned option, it is necessary to have the Fitness monitoring function turned on Settings -> Privacy -> Movement and fitness -> Fitness tracking.
Another added value of the mode is the ability to set an automatic reply to messages. This way, the person trying to reach you will immediately know that you are currently driving and that you will contact them as soon as you stop. If the contact still wants to contact you, they can send you an additional message with the text "important" and thus break the feature.
The function can also be activated Repeated call (in the Do Not Disturb section), when the second call within three minutes will be ignored, the phone will ring classically or vibrate. If the iPhone is connected to a car radio with a microphone, to CarPlay or to a hands-free system while driving, incoming calls will be connected despite the active mode.

This function is completely useless. Before leaving, I agreed with my colleague where we would meet. When I arrived at the place, I got a message from the right saying that he had to change the destination and that I would meet somewhere else. This made me lose half an hour of my journey.
REALLY VERY ULTRA DEBILE FINKS. IF THEY WOULD LIKE TO ENLARGE THE BATTERY AND DEDICATE THE STABILITY OF THE SYSTEM
