They changed the Timer and it's annoying.
They got rid of the time when the timer will ring.
Like if I set it to 2 hours and 15 mins, it'll show something like this timer will ring at 9:00 AM. It doesn't do that now.
Now if I put 2 hrs, it says it'll ring 2 hrs from now in the preview... No really?
I think they fixed alerts issue with the Timer. It used to default to Radial if you used Siri to start a timer even when the in-app setting was set to something else. Now when I start a timer from Siri it uses the alert sound that have chosen. And when selecting an alert it now shows “(Default)” next to my selection whereas previously that default indicator would remain on Radial.
Not sure if this is what you’re referring to, but you can click on the timer in the app and it’ll go back to the old screen and display a time for when it’ll go off. I agree that it’s super annoying because I use a timer for my lunch at work and I keep forgetting when I need to be back
Shit, thought that was just me going deaf in my old age when I picked my phone up and had notifications I hadn’t heard.
Wait, you guys take your phones off vibrate?
Again, I just don’t understand why Apple always feels needs to break something that wasn’t broken
Things like this is why I don't update.
It's not just an Apple thing, though they are the worst offender, especially because you can't roll back iOS updates. But with nearly every piece of software I work with now, updating is always one step forward, two steps back. I just want it to keep working the way it's working.
And before anyone jumps in and says "but... but... what about security updates???" to that I say, fuck it. With my threat model I don't need it, and I'd rather take whatever the minimal risk is than deal with my software constantly getting more aggravating with every update. What point is there in keeping software up-to-date if it stops working the way you need it to?
I really dislike this change. Before medication reminders would have a loud follow up remind that would scare the shit out of me. Now I keep forgetting about the notification
My phone has been on vibrate since 2009
There is a notification sound???
Hallelujah.
They took away the option to change the airdrop sound
I wondered why I wasn't getting any notifications. I kept checking my mute switch.
Four months later:
"Introducing iHearingAids..."
The only loud sound I need on my iPhone is the alarm clock so I personally welcome all options of quieter notifications.
i got used to it by the second day
For me it kinda sounds like the sound made when a phone call is ended and i was tripping out when i first heard it
This update for iMessage sucks.
Mine is actually really loud but the rebound sound scares the shit out of me!! It sounds like a ghost, or like a horror movie special effect lol. It's too spooky that it can't be changed :( Hopefully I'll get used to it but what a weird thing to lock out of customizing. Does apple want this to be their iconic sound or something..?
