The Art of Keeping Calls Considerate

When it comes to cell phone etiquette, one of the most impactful habits is how we handle calls in shared spaces. Using speakerphone in public can unintentionally turn a private chat into a public broadcast, and that can be a little disruptive for those around us.

Instead, try popping in a pair of earbuds or simply holding the phone up to your ear. It’s a small change that instantly shows courtesy and keeps your conversations private. And if you really need to use speakerphone, step into a quieter corner or a private space when possible.

These little etiquette touches not only show respect but also add a layer of polish to how you present yourself in everyday life. So next time you’re out and about, remember that a little phone courtesy goes a long way!
