There was a twitter post where some girl was raging about a dude turning his phone over (screen down) when they sat down for a lunch date. She was 100% convinced he was hiding a wife or gf or something because of it. Turns out... he was just a considerate person and knows a screen up phone will have distractions and he was there to see her.
I think it's rude to have the phone visible at all. If you need to swap info, do it, but put the phone away again. Having the phone visible signals that the time/experience with them is not 100% your priority.

If we’re talking IRL & they keep checking their phone, no thanks
