Melbourne venues are leading a trend against mobile phone use, aiming to foster more present and connected social experiences. Establishments like Bar Le Splendide, Sanctum, and Sense of Self bath house are implementing phone restrictions, with some even providing red heart stickers to cover phone cameras. Musicians and nightclubs worldwide are also joining this movement, with psychologists suggesting it promotes genuine human connection. This push for phone-free zones is expected to become more common, encouraging people to engage more with each other in person.
