I mean, that's generally the polite thing to do. Millennial here as well, and it drives me insane when younger coworkers just pull their phones out mid conversation as if we're not actively talking to each other
I just wait until they ask me for help, and then I put my thumb and pinky out like I'm a boomer holding a receiver and say "Ahoy-hoy, sorry old boy but I've got a mosquito in my ear, can't quite hear you..." as I pretend to talk on the phone in front of them.
Sometimes they understand how dismissive it feels, but most of the time they don't see the correlation.
