No. OtoZen does not disable texting or block phone usage while driving.
However, OtoZen helps discourage phone use while driving by giving feedback to the driver and keeping Connections informed when phone usage is detected during a Driver Mode trip.
OtoZen can help in the following ways:
- Vibration warning for the driver
If the driver interacts with the phone while driving, OtoZen can vibrate the phone as a warning. This helps remind the driver to put the phone down and stay focused on the road. - Phone usage alerts for Connections
When phone usage is detected during a Driver Mode trip, selected Connections can receive alerts based on their notification settings. - Impact on Drive Score
Phone usage while driving may affect the driver’s trip score and overall Drive Score. This helps encourage safer driving habits over time.
Note: OtoZen does not lock the phone, disable texting, or block apps. Phone usage alerts are available for Driver Mode trips only.
