Apple refuses to separate sound controls. Alarms, texts, system sounds, screenshot noises, camera shutter, call ringer are all attached.

Why can’t I turn off screenshot noises without risking missed calls, wtf why is this even a connected concern??

Because I don't want to be forced to look at my phone at any and all notifications that are popping off.
Nowadays apps force you to accept notifications by the app and make it difficult in a labyrinth in the settings, to disable it.

I also silenced everything msgs and calls. If it's rlly urgent and you're not on my white list you'll call twice (repeated calls) and it'll go through.

Messages I'll reply when I have time for it. Everyone's so anxious about having to reply immediately, me fk no.
I have "do not disturb" on 24/7 and only certain ppl white listed.

My way to fight against this perceived need to be available all the time.
