A latest iPhone 8 rumor suggests that you will be able to silent the notifications on the device just by looking at it! According to the leaks that we have received so far, the iPhone 8 is likely to feature a front-facing 3D sensor that will allow face recognition for automatic unlock. In addition, the new OLED iPhone will have the power to use that same sensor to enable even more exciting features such as automatically silencing notifications if you look at the screen.

The new iPhone 8 leak shows that Apple is considering using the face detection depth sensors on the iPhone 8 in order to mute the notification sounds banners when they come in. If the device detects it has your attention like you are looking at it, it silences the incoming notification’s because it can assume you will see it on the screen. This looks like a great addition to the fantastic iPhone 8 specs that we have come across so far.
