According to CNET , Apple has quietly integrated a useful feature on iOS 17 that can help iPhone users, especially children, form healthier phone usage habits to protect their eyesight.
iPhone has the ability to warn distance when looking too close
First introduced on iOS 17 in 2023, the Screen Distance feature acts as a 'guardian' that reminds users when they hold their phone too close to their eyes.

Specifically, if the user uses the iPhone at a distance closer than the recommended distance for a certain period of time, the screen will display a warning 'iPhone maybe too close' and be locked. To continue using it, the user is forced to move the phone away to a safe distance.
While using a phone close to the eyes has not been proven to cause direct harm, experts say it can cause stress, eye strain, and increase the risk of nearsightedness, especially in children. Apple's Screen Distance feature was created to address this issue, encouraging users to maintain a reasonable distance from the device, contributing to protecting eye health.
To enable this feature, users just need to follow these simple steps:
- Open Settings.
- Select Screen Time.
- Select Screen Distance.
- Click Continue to enable the feature.
Apple also allows users to turn off this feature if they want. However, with the practical benefits it brings, Screen Distance is expected to become an effective tool to help iPhone users, especially parents, manage their children's phone usage in a more scientific and healthy way.
