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??

    Yep. One of the biggest gripes I have with the iPhone. Can’t have a mix of volumes on and off. If I want sound while gaming, I need to turn off silent mode. But videos can play with sound even if the phone is on silent mode. Wth.

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

    I have an android phone for work and I turn both off. It’s just annoying. I don’t want a ringtone blasted when I am on train, or at my desk at work. Even just notification bings are godawful.

    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.

    No, that’s not why iPhones users always have ringer turned off. Its because they usually have an Apple Watch (or other smartwatch like Garmin) that alerts them to incoming calls or notifications. Ringer is redundant and not necessary.

    Its been that way for me and everyone i know for years now.

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

    I keep my phone on silent because I don’t want to be bothered, also I have an Apple Watch for notifications.

    I only recently switched to iPhone and trust me my last 15 Androids were all permanently silent too lol

    But yes, they should have a way to easily break apart the sound levels
