Would texting during a movie get me kicked out?

I'm going to see This Is Us with my friends today, &obviously I'm going to bring my phone. Would it be okay to still use it occasionally during the movie if my iPhone's brightness is turned All the way down and my phone is completely silenced?

If you're wondering why I would want to use my phone in the theater in the first place, I have pretty bad anxiety, and sometimes my phone helps distract me from that and if I wanted to just text my mom really quick and check in every once in a while that would make me feel less anxious.

Also, do you think if I turned the brightness level All the way down on my iPhone 4, people owuld still notice that I'm on it? I don't want to be rude to the other people watching and I want to make sure that this wouldn't distract them.

I'm sure you won;t be kicked out just don't annoy anyone with the light.

No as long as it isn't on loud and disturbing everyone. Even then they'll probably just tell you to put it on silent or not use it and turn the brightness down

It depends on the movie theater's policies, but increasingly they have a zero-tolerance policy because even a dim screen can easily disturb anyone whose line of sight it's in.

I'm glad you don't want to be rude. I think if you sit in the last row and use it as dim as it goes, that's about as considerate as you can be--but the individual theater may still ask you to leave.

LOL NO. Just make sure your phone is on silent OR you will surely be KICKED!
cheers!

Just say free country
