In USA, no one has asked me to switch off my phone in 10 years - sowore

It seems like you're sharing your experience with phone etiquette in the USA, specifically regarding turning off phones during flights. In the past, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) required passengers to switch off their phones or put them in airplane mode during flights. However, in 2013, the FAA relaxed these rules, allowing passengers to use their devices in airplane mode during takeoff, landing, and cruising ¹.

It's likely that you haven't been asked to switch off your phone in 10 years because of this rule change. Airlines may still have their own policies regarding phone usage during flights, but it's no longer a federal requirement to turn off devices completely.
