There’s no denying that smartphones have become an extension of ourselves.
It’s almost reflexive now—anytime we feel a buzz or hear a ping, our hands are drawn to our pockets. But what happens when that buzz never comes because you’ve intentionally turned your phone on silent?
It might seem like a small preference or even a harmless quirk. Yet, in my experience, and based on various psychological insights, keeping your phone on silent can actually say a lot more about you than you might realize.
I’d like to share seven observations on what this habit could reveal about your personality, your relationships, and the way you navigate an always-connected world.
Let’s dive in.

Turning off notifications, even the basic ones, signals you might be someone who highly values focus and deep work. And you’re not alone in that thinking.
