warning iPhone too Close to eyes?

This new warning on iPhone 11 is constantly warning me “Phone is too close”, and waits until I move my screen away from my face …but I cannot see it from that distance.


Do I have options to set maximum warnings a day, or silence the warnins altogether?


🤞🏼

iPhone 11, iOS 17

You can turn it off What is Screen Distance? - Apple Support


Also look into increasing the phones text size. Change the font size on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
