I feel like their thinking is “oh you can’t hear it? Get an Apple Watch for £399 that vibrates on your wrist so you never miss a notification”
I hate it. I miss important notifications because it weirdly turns off notifications for an app if I’m not tapping on it. One example is LinkedIn, I click maybe out of ten recruiter messages and Apple thinks I’m not interested. So they completely muted the notification for me. I now have to check the app regularly because of this.
I get notifications on my Garmin smartwatch so I’ve never had to hear notification sounds, my phones always on silent. How much quieter to be exact?
Why don’t companies just make these things optional, I don’t understand forcing random changes on the user base.
My iPhone 11 has been on silent since I got it out of the box
Who want’s to lay bets they’re trying to funnel some more people in to Apple Watch?
In 2023, it seems odd that we can personalize widgets, wallpapers, and lockscreens, yet changing the default notification sound remains not possible. It’s even more puzzling that you can customize notification sounds for default apps like reminders and messages. I mean I don’t wanna come off as an Android kid here, but Apple, really?
The fact you can do it for proprietary apps only shows that.
- Apple is fully capable of doing so for any/all apps. Actively, right now, it wouldn’t even be hard.
- Does not care about the convenience of its customer base, let alone the complaints and frankly decades of user input and suggestions.
- Is greedy (like always), they don’t give a shit about giving you a good product, just one that’s ’good enough’ to take your money, but they have to ration commonplace features so they have something new for next year (that has been a feature elsewhere for 5)
Watch, in a year or two they’ll try selling the new model and tag it as “Now with the ability to set sounds for ALL your apps! Amazing! WOW! Innovation!”…… it’s classic Apple, they think they’re the best because their head is so far up their own ass that all they see around them is shit.
The only sound my phone ever makes is for alarms
I’ve been on iOS for 7 months or so. Is there any damn way to have notifications/alerts/rings on vibrate but have media and all other sounds on normal. Flicking the switch off make a lot of things silent than I don’t necessarily want silent (live photos being the one stands out).
And it is great for the two apps I have sound turned on for.
That seems like horrible for hearing impaired people or anyone who is in a busy noisy environment. Why can’t it be a setting
