What about Apple Watches and tablets?

Learn how The Commons prioritizes cellphone distractions today — and how we're able to adapt to future needs around smartwatches and tablets.

Last updated on 20 Jul, 2025

Right now, the biggest distraction reported by schools is cellphone use, which is why The Commons is currently focused on managing student phones.

That said, our technology is designed to grow with school needs. If smartwatches (like Apple Watches) or tablets begin causing classroom disruptions, The Commons can evolve to support those devices too. We’re always listening to our school partners and building toward a healthier, more focused learning environment.

If you’re concerned about other devices, we recommend sharing that feedback with your school administration so they can coordinate with us directly.
