I know on iOS you can set up a “focus” for different situations like driving. Then you can limit notifications to only certain people or none at all. It will automatically activate when your phone connects to your car.

You could also set one up for listening to music or audiobooks and configure it to have reduced interruptions.

I would assume that android would have something similar.

    Android has Do Not Disturb, which since 99% of all phone calls are spam these days, has to be left on permanently. You can either block or allow all SMS texts. You can also set custom notification tones for each group chat... but making those change depending upon driving is a whole other matter.

    The person I responded to mentioned Samsung, which I think has something that might work along those lines. Though that's an entirely separate registration, with email address (and obviously your phone number), and an entirely separate corporate app store, over and above all that already with Google.

    iOS forces you to sell your soul to them in order to enter their walled garden, but once you do they take great care of you, in most ways, even if as they choose rather than as you would wish.
