What about phones at the table?
This entry describes phones at the table as the device being present and used during a meal or a talk the other person thought was shared. It separates that habit from reading a spouse's messages, and notes that a rule works only if both people know what the rule is.
What this entry does not do
It does not ban phones, and it does not replace the entry on checking a partner's phone.
