However, there are certain situations that can make gaming uncomfortable for you - such as calls, notifications, and more. There are some game modes available for competing devices that deal with all distracting elements, but unfortunately we don't have a similar option in the case of an iPhone or iPad. Let's look together in this article at X tips that can make playing on Apple devices more pleasant for you.

On the iPhone or iPad, you can easily use automations to set, for example, the Do Not Disturb mode to start when the game starts, to adjust the brightness and volume, or to deactivate Bluetooth, for example. There are several options in this case. You can find automations in the native application Abbreviations, where in the bottom menu click on the tab Automation.
