Are reels a distraction during family time or social gatherings for today’s youth?

Family dinner used to be about conversation, laughter, and bonding. But now, many young people are glued to their phones even when surrounded by loved ones. Instagram and YouTube reels have created a constant pull for attention, even during real-life moments that matter. Parents complain, friends feel ignored, and memories are lost in favor of the next trending video.
 
But is this a real problem, or just an exaggeration of changing times? Are we becoming more disconnected in our closest relationships due to digital distractions? Tell us—do reels disrupt your time with family and friends, or is it all just harmless multitasking?
