In that case, Putting the phone in DND mode 24x7 and only using it only when we need it exponentially limits phone usage and interruptions.

But, not many can afford having their phone in DND mode all the time due to their job/family requirements(I do it and I've read few others on HN doing it). Then again, there are jobs which require you to install apps on your personal device or at-least communication apps like Slack, Teams etc.; In those case even Light Phone cannot be used.

I have DnD 24x7 and it is bliss.

How is your relationship with your friends who are not located close to you?

P.S. Please don't mind the bland nature of my question.

We usually pick up right where we left off. Most big news are communicated directly through WhatsApp. I obviously check my messages every once in a while.

Honest question, do you need to be reachable 24/7 to have a relationship with your friends?

Not necessarily. DnD 24/7 means; the time they wish to reach you, they cannot.
