This update for iMessage sucks.
Lol
Not just quieter, on my XR it also changes with the volume button, even though prior to iOS 17, volume keys were for media and notifications were synced with Ringtone sound level.
Notifications will work at full volume when Media Volume is full and will be muted when media volume is muted. It’s the same even for lock and unlock sounds.
Only the ringtone is free from volume key control.
Mine is actually really loud but the rebound sound scares the shit out of me!! It sounds like a ghost, or like a horror movie special effect lol. It’s too spooky that it can’t be changed :( Hopefully I’ll get used to it but what a weird thing to lock out of customizing. Does apple want this to be their iconic sound or something…?
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!
FINALLY …
Y’all keep sound on? Lol
I love sitting near these people at dinner in a restaurant.
In 2023, it seems odd that we can personalize widgets, wallpapers, and lockscreens, yet changing the default notification sound remains not possible. It’s even more puzzling that you can customize notification sounds for default apps like reminders and messages. I mean I don’t wanna come off as an Android kid here, but Apple, really?
The fact you can do it for proprietary apps only shows that.
- Apple is fully capable of doing so for any/all apps. Actively, right now, it wouldn’t even be hard.
- Does not care about the convenience of its customer base, let alone the complaints and frankly decades of user input and suggestions.
- Is greedy (like always), they don’t give a shit about giving you a good product, just one that’s ’good enough’ to take your money, but they have to ration commonplace features so they have something new for next year (that has been a feature elsewhere for 5)
Watch, in a year or two they’ll try selling the new model and tag it as “Now with the ability to set sounds for ALL your apps! Amazing! WOW! Innovation!”…… it’s classic Apple, they think they’re the best because their head is so far up their own ass that all they see around them is shit.
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)
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.
It bothers me more that the sound is now a disconnect or hang up sound. It annoys the crap out of me.
Seriously I’m constantly scared I’ve accidentally been in a phone call.
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?
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?
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
