How to Turn Off iPhone Maybe Too Close

iPhone may be too close notification on iPhone

If you get annoyed by the iPhone Maybe Too Close screen notification on your iPhone, you can turn it off. The notification is part of the Screen Distance feature that Apple Introduced with iOS 17. The feature aims to help users reduce eye strain on their eyes by reminding them to keep their iPhones at least 12 inches from their eyes. 

Once you see this notification, you will have to move your iPhone to the required distance, and it will go. While this feature is useful, I understand how it can be annoying. No worries, you can turn off this feature. 

To turn off the Screen Distance feature on your iPhone, 

1. Launch the Settings app and open Screen Time.
