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.
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
Again, I just don’t understand why Apple always feels needs to break something that wasn’t broken
So I can’t even set my notification iPhone sound on Twitter (X) now? The new sounds sucks and it’s unchangeable? How fucking stupid!
How did apple innovation produce a sound quieter than silence?
The only sound my phone ever makes is for alarms
I suspect my opinion is gonna be unpopular amongst you’s but i actually love the new sounds and ringtones in iOS 17.
Same. To me the new notifications sounds are more polished. And I have no trouble hearing them.
They’re amazing. So nice that i let my phone on ringer more than before. They don’t irritate me

The sounds aren’t the problem.
The lack of being able to set the default notification tone is.
Yeah, I’m not going to lie; these are the best sounds they’ve ever had.

‘I like it’ is uncontroversal.
‘So it’s okay you all have to put up with what I like’ is unconscionable.
These sites will literally find the silliest shit to complain about.
Why don’t companies just make these things optional, I don’t understand forcing random changes on the user base.
For how good the hardware is they sure suck at software.
I don’t get it. Why is no one addressing the fact that this article is 2 months old? Wasn’t the quieter sound fixed in 17.1?
Weirdly, I only just had this issue with the newest update from this week. For whatever reason I still had all the old notification sounds up until just now, and I didn’t skip any updates or anything. So I’m just learning about all this today, I wonder if there are others?
It is a weird thing to post about now. It still hasn’t been addressed as far as I can tell.

Get an Apple Watch.
Obviously a bit tongue in cheek as not everyone can afford it, but my phone hasn’t made a sound for 7 years and I love it so much.
Also, my colleagues phone blares out We are the Champions EVERU FUCKING TIME it rings and it fucks me off no end, so I think alerts can be selfish AF (whilst I appreciate that people are more concerned re dings than ring tones here)
Even before I got a Watch my phone was always on silent.
A $40 Mi Band will do the same. I have one to track my sleep (it works better than my Apple Watch) and it was my daily watch for many years.
I got an Apple Watch just for my fitness tracking and actually I found it bizarre that you can’t just turn off all notifications, you have to toggle them off by every app individually! I don’t want my wrist buzzing all day, I want less distractions not more.

Well, I have a bad news for you, they broke the notification on the Apple Watch with iOS17.
You used to get notifications / wake up alarm only on your watch if it was unlocked.
Now even if my watch is unlocked and on my wrist and my phone is locked, my phone will get the notification and 5 seconds later my watch will get the same. It’s annoying af.
They also did something to the notification/vibration with the latest watchOS version because both my medication reminder and my wake up alarm on my watch no longer wake me up, the vibration is much more attenuated than before. Maybe it’s a ultra 2 defect?

Why do only certain apps have customs notification sounds? I would have thought most apps would want a custom sound to stand out from each other, but it seems like only the more popular apps like Snapchat have them. Is it a feature only offered to bigger developers or something?
It’s up to the developers. My guess is that most don’t bother.
