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??

    Media

    Calls (including 3rd party)

    Messages (including 3rd party)

    Notifications

    Effects

    All Apple needs is to separate these. It can’t be that difficult.

    I’ve always wondered that. I keep my ringer off since every time I send a Snapchat or screenshot I don’t want people to think I am sending pictures of them… if I could turn off camera noises, I would leave my ringer on.

    Long past time for Apple to add this capability. Android has had it for ages. Samsung with Good Lock can even have app-specific audio settings.

    It’s less customisable but your 10yr old cousin and 78yr old grandmother find it easy to use. It’s a silent switch. Turn it to silent and your phone cannot make a sound without an interaction by you. Very simple and easy to understand. If you want more granular control of this in iOS you’ll have to use a combination of Focus modes and Shortcuts. Personally I think of be pretty easy for Apple to retain the simplistic silent mode AND add setting level granular control too.

    Mine has been on vibrate ever since I got an Apple Watch, which has been 5+ years. Never had an issue or desire to go back. It has nothing to do with the reasons you listed.

    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!

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

    Then obviously you need an apple watch so you can always know when you get a call even when away from your phone and even when your phone is on silent. Noob lol. 😝
