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.

    It’s really baffling to (very deliberately) have no option in the camera app to turn off shutter sounds - as if it’s some kind of moral or legal requirement - but then allow you to turn it off globally via silent mode. It’s the single strangest UX decision on this thing.

    Why don’t text message notifications automatically mute while I’m on a phone call? Why do I need my eardrum blown out by a text message ding while on a phone call?

    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.

    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

    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.

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