How to prevent your friends from using their mobile when you meet
Table of contents:
The mobile is always with us, from the time we get up until we go to sleep. We use it for work, to listen to music, to chat with our friends... and at all times: in the bathroom, while we eat or even when we meet with our friends and family. For some it is difficult to leave the mobile even when we are talking to people. Google knows this, and has created an app that prevents you and your friends from using your phone when you're meeting.
The app is called We Flip.It is an experimental app developed by the Google Creative Lab team, but we can find it for free on Google Play. You just have to click on this link. Its use is very simple. The app connects us with our friends (they have to have it downloaded for it to work) wirelessly, without the need to add users or have them in contacts We just have to activate the main button to prevent us from using the mobile when we are together.
How does We Flip avoid using the terminal? What it does is automatically activate the do not disturb mode,the vibrations and the volume to avoid distractions with the terminal. All users must have the app open on their mobile, since if they go out the option is deactivated and the application will notify other friends who have it activated. In this way, We Flip 'forces' the user not to exit the application, otherwise it will be deactivated.
Once you exit the app you will be able to see how much time you have spent without looking at your phone or opening any application.
How to use and configure We Flip
First, download the app on Google Play. At the moment it is only available for Android. Ask your friends or family to download it too. After installing it open the app. It will ask you to add a name of about 6 characters and to allow the application to access the 'Do not disturb' mode of your Android mobile. This last step is necessary to that We Flip can work. Your friends should follow the same steps.
After the initial setup, you will see an interface with a big button in the middle. Next to it, the friends who are connected with you and who can also activate the application.To start it, you just have to lower the circle downwards It's that simple.
If you want terminal, just exit the app. You will see a warning appear. If you go back in, you can see how long you've spent without your phone or how many times you've looked at your phone without unlocking it.
