However, if you don't want to read your iPhone notifications, just turn the face down.
You will still get the vibration and sound but the screen won't up come up.
This feature is for selected iphone's device ,the "Facedown detection" doesn't work on iPhone 4s, iPhone 5, iPhone 5c and other older iPhone device which includes the iPad and iPod touch but works on iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s, and iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone SE, iPhone 7, and iPhone 7 Plus.
The facedown detection uses the motion coprocessor to get it running ,but in other to disable this feature on your iPhone, head to :
1. Settings
2. Privacy
3. Motion and Fitness and disable “Fitness Tracking” feature.
Doing this will make the feature stop working and the iPhone screen display will turn even when the phone is turn down.
