Apple

This is something that has annoyed me since switching to iPhone for the first time, doesn’t help there’s an audio bug too where sounds become crazy loud regardless of your ringer volume

All my devices are mute, except when i’m expecting an important call / message.

Has nothing to do with the points you’re saying

Using the customizable do not disturb function helps alot

Maybe Apple will create this new never seen before feature and everyone will be amazed..maybe even put it behind a premium pay wall

This! This bugs me so much. If I’m in the office I have to turn the ringer down but then I can’t hear any messages when they come in. It’s infuriating at best.

Yes it’s silly!! My ringer volume is tied to the volume on the Facebook app. WHY?! It makes no sense.

What I can't believe is that there is still no indicator on the screen when the silence switch is turned on. So I turn it on, and forget it's turned on!

Apple thinks their consumers are 50 IQ idiots who don’t know how to use settings, it’s their way or the highway. I think they should make an advanced mode which lets you customize a lot more while keeping the current state as the default for majority of people.

I have a custom ringtone that is just silence. I can still have my other system sounds and no ring.

iPhone sucks Lol

That was the same for me as well on samsung, only difference was that ringtone and notifications are separate things

For me it’s because it easy. It was a hassle on my android.

Why I can’t control ringtone volume for AirPods specifically?

“We, at Apple, value your focus for the most important thing you love. That’s why we implemented the mute all feature. Want message notifications but want to turn off camera shutter sound? Not happening. It’s all or nothing. It’s about YOU. puts this in the new features for new iPhones as a plus

Mine is turned off because I get my notifications and calls via my watch.

As a recent convert from Samsung I just realized this and now I’m annoyed. I always use to have my alert notification on and phone ringer disabled, i just realized I always leave my iPhone on silent and never receive any audible alerts. I’ve noticed I respond to less texts initially on iPhone and then remember a day or two later that I never responded. Maybe not having an audible alert is causing some of that along with a horrible status/notification hub.

They are separated. Just not clearly. You have to adjust volume for a thing while it is happening.

As a brand new iPhone user as of 3 weeks ago, this is so infuriating. It’s such a simple idea and would be so easy to implement, so why has apple not done this?

Just disable change ringtone volume with volume buttons.

I keep it off bc sounds are annoying overall, i only want my music

One of the most annoying things about my iPhone when I was using it. After missing my morning alarm twice, I had to resort to a secondary Android phone for backup alarms.

This is what makes no sense with iPhones…my android was so fcking easy to set up I could pick and choose what I wanted to be silent or vibrate or ring. Apple was just like fuck it we’ll remove the ringer slider altogether.

I don’t know. I always put my phone on silent long before my iPhone.

I’ve had any noise turned off for the last 19 years of owning a phone, any phone. I still to this day think it’s weird that people need their shit on full volume going off all the time.

I love/hate the feature as it works about 80% of the time the right way and the other 20% of the time is infuriating.

It'd be nice if they had a volume section in settings where you could see EACH specific volume type laid out and settable. I could set my Carplay's ringtone volume for the longest time because generally people don't call me that much and the first few times they did it would blast the audio through my car at near max volume and I'd forget to set the volume down before answering so it always stayed at max volume!

OTOH, I always have my ringer turned off because I wear an apple watch and just get all my calls/notifications through vibrations on my wrist!

Welp if you didn't watch the hub or ss photos in public you wouldn't need to silence.

I just want to be able to make custom notification sounds for each app that doesn’t have a unique default one.

Maybe go and look at your notifications settings…

Lmao it's always fun to hear what great features iPhones have.

Is this a genuine thing? I've always been an android user but my new work phone is an iPhone. I've spent the past month alternating between having it on silent and missing calls, or playing with the settings trying to turn off the camera shutter noise so I can have the ringtone on.

Click the 'bell' icon in Control Center to turn on/off notification sounds while keeping the others.

Life is just easier that way

Because I miss BB10 notification system

Yeah they should change this tbh

Careful if you guys get too much freedom itll be called the Idroid

Wait really? How is that still a thing?

My phones on silent 24/7 so never notice

Every time I play music through a my google nest and start watching a video I am in pain . Oh you want to listen to the video? Pretty sure you want to turn the music up at the same time right ?

why would you need sound on? Psychopath that think other people around that dont matter.

I like just having everything muted, I thought it was by design lol. Boomers use their phones with sound on, zoomers use muted.

After 3yrs on iphone I still struggle with this.

I would just like to have my texts come loud, while my alarm goes off at the absolute softest

No one calls or writes me so it’s a non issue.

No it’s not.

At some point we’ve been listening to the Apple tune, nobody gave a fuck about screenshot sounds, then around 10 years ago everyone went mute. And folks that force us to listen to the standard Samsung tune will burn in hell.

We’re overloaded with notifications, let us live in peace.

I only left MS Teams notifications as they’re related to my job. That’s it.

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.

ugh so much this. it’s been bothering me.

I always keep sounds off for everything and phone calls on. If someone is texting me its not an emergency. If its an emergency Im not aware of, then call me. If Im expecting a text, I check my phone then more often. Additionally, I have apple watch so most notifications go through the watch anyway (sound off always)

Yeah they need to change that. Android is so much better with that. I want my alarms loud always, there’s times I missed my alarm because my ringer was too low and I forgot to turn them up before bed. Now I use both my phones for alarms just in case. My android alarm is bulletproof.
