Abstract
In one embodiment, a first application detects a user's activity. Based on the user's activity detected by the first application, a type of user status is determined from among a plurality of different types of possible user status. One or more features are determined of a feature set of a second application that correspond to the type of user status detected by the first application. The corresponding one or more features of the feature set of the second application are limited to prevent the one or more features from interrupting the user's activity. One or more other features of the feature set of the second application that do not correspond to the type of user status detected by the first application are permitted.
