Imagine your phone is like a detective. When you're driving, it notices that the car is moving and you're not walking, so it knows you're in a car. It uses a special tool called a sensor to detect how fast you’re going and whether you’re on the move or still. That’s why your phone can change what it shows when you drive.
Examples
- If you're moving at a constant speed for several minutes, your phone assumes you are driving.
- It’s like having a silent cop who watches how fast and smoothly you’re moving.
