Snap out of it: Manchester club joins growing trend to ban phone cameras
Briefly

Amber's director Jeremy Abbott stated, 'We believe that having phones away creates a better vibe in the room and makes people feel more present in the moment.' He explained that the decision to enforce a no-phone policy was aimed at enhancing the overall music experience, as it places focus back on the live performance rather than distraction from recording it.
In discussing the growing trend, clubgoers in Berlin have embraced a no-phone policy, which has gained traction in other nightlife hotspots, like London's FOLD and Ibiza's Pikes. By putting phones away, venues are fostering an environment that encourages freedom of expression on the dancefloor, allowing patrons to connect with the music and with each other, rather than through screens.
The no-phone policy, according to patrons, creates a shared experience, where 'knowing that everyone around you is doing the same opens up a whole world of freedom,' according to a social media post from Pikes, highlighting how this shift can lead to more genuine social interactions within the club setting.
