What do you think of people putting their phones facedown? [I Question]

Some people think of it as a sign of something to hide. I’ve always saw it as a sign of respect like I’m not concerned about my phone while I’m with someone in person

Yeah same, to be respectful

I've never seen it as the person having something to hide. I see it as they want the screen to get scratches or sticky.
If my phone isn't in my hand, I don't look at it.
I've not seen anyone else who keeps their phone face up looking at theirs either.

If I go over to talk to someone, I'd much prefer they place it on the table, rather than hold it and look at it while we're talking. I try to do the same with mine in that situation, or just put it in my pocket.
I'm not concerned about it because I don't use it for the internet and I only text like a couple of people. I don't remember if I put it up or down.
But if I used it a lot I might put it down because you never know who is going to text something personal. But I don't leave it out when I'm not home. *I would leave it my purse. @Spoiledbrat

Yeah exactly.

That other option is dumb and makes no sense. If they had something to hide there are better ways to hide your phone than out in the open on a table or something lol
Yeah, just means I am focused on the person I'm talking to. People need to relax a little.

Seems polite or put it away completely.

I would not even notice.
I am not hung up on others' phone habits.

Get it? "Hung up" and "phone"?

HUUUUUR HUR HUR HUR HUR
My phone case is one of those wallet screen protector ones so it does not matter which way I put it
