Driving mode can be a helpful feature for drivers who want to stay focused on the road. However, there may be times when you want to turn off driving mode. Here are a few effective methods you can use to remove driving mode, whether you’re using an Android or iOS device.

Firstly, you can disable driving mode through your device’s settings. For Android users, navigate to the Settings menu and tap on “Google” > “Driving mode”. From there, you can toggle the driving mode option off. On the other hand, iOS users can access driving mode settings under the “Do Not Disturb” section within the Settings app. Locate the “Driving” option and turn it off to disable driving mode.

Alternatively, you can disable driving mode directly from the feature itself. For Android devices, pull down the notification shade from the top of the screen and tap on the “Driving mode” notification. On the notification card, find the “End now” button and tap on it to turn off driving mode. Similarly, iOS users can disable driving mode by accessing the Control Center and tapping on the “Driving Focus” icon. Once the icon turns gray, driving mode will be disabled.

Locate the Driving Mode icon: It’s a circular icon with a steering wheel inside. If Driving Mode is active, it will be highlighted.
Tap the Driving Mode icon: This will instantly disable Driving Mode. You’ll notice that the icon becomes grayed out.

Device	Swipe Direction
