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??

    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

    Yeah they need to change that. Android is so much better with that. I want my alarms loud always, there’s times I missed my alarm because my ringer was too low and I forgot to turn them up before bed. Now I use both my phones for alarms just in case. My android alarm is bulletproof.

    I always keep sounds off for everything and phone calls on. If someone is texting me its not an emergency. If its an emergency Im not aware of, then call me. If Im expecting a text, I check my phone then more often. Additionally, I have apple watch so most notifications go through the watch anyway (sound off always)

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

    “We, at Apple, value your focus for the most important thing you love. That’s why we implemented the mute all feature. Want message notifications but want to turn off camera shutter sound? Not happening. It’s all or nothing. It’s about YOU. puts this in the new features for new iPhones as a plus

    As a brand new iPhone user as of 3 weeks ago, this is so infuriating. It’s such a simple idea and would be so easy to implement, so why has apple not done this?

    Welp if you didn’t watch the hub or ss photos in public you wouldn’t need to silence.
