It seems to be acceptable when I do it. I just say something like, “Hey would you mind if we all put our phones away for the afternoon so we won’t be distracted by them?” Or going into a meeting I’ll say “hey can we all keep our laptops closed to avoid distraction, please?”

Nobody has ever gotten upset, or said no for that matter.
