Phones at mealtimes

Do parents have problems with phones at family mealtimes? Are family meals valuable social interactions and are phones interfering with this?

Dinner time is a family time so phones should be left in the bedroom. I wouldn't tell my child to out put dthe phone straight away I would give them a 5-10 minute warning that dinner is alnial ready and it's time to finish up on their phone.
