I have no idea what my ringtone is and I’m scared of it finding out.
Meh. I have different levels of notifications. Email is silent. Lemmy is silent. Emails from my dad get a very small chirp. Signals from my sister however blare Turbo Rider.
I would go a step further. Block notifications from the vast majority of apps. Besides messaging apps, there are very few apps that I need to see any notifications for. Even for apps like Lemmy, replies and DMs can be seen when the app is next opened, no need to bother me before I’m going to open the app anyway.
I’ve even got WhatsApp blocked. My wife and closest family are on Signal anyway. Any messages on WhatsApp can wait. I never go longer than 30 to 60 min without checking my phone anyway so I’ll check into WhatsApp from time to time. So far, without notifications, nothing bad has happened for the past year.
It’s a fun little surprise when I open Lemmy and see who I’ve pissed off yesterday. I’d hate to have a notification for it, that’d give me anxiety.
This is the way
100% that. Only a few selected people as well as emergency apps are allowed to send any notifications. Nothing else is important enough to drag me out of whatever I’m currently invested in.
I agree with this wholeheartedly
I used to love using audacity to clip up MP3’s and turn them into ringtones. Nowadays I wouldn’t be caught dead with my ringer on
My phone was on silence mode since i started using it years ago. I was very surprised when i heard random notification sound after i accidentally turn off silent mode, and i was like wtf is that sound come from
I had a phone without the “chip” in it so I could make 911 calls.
Then one day, almost a decade ago, it started to make noise. It was TRUMP testing out the emergency broadcast system.
I broke the phone in half and threw it away. Thanks Donald for using my stuff AGAINST me.
It won’t happen again.
imagine the restraint on corpos to not let ads in apps bypass the sound settings entirely
DON’T. GIVE. THEM. IDEAS.
I would make an excellent CEO eh
Depends, how into kids are you?
is that a thing? Nothing has ever bypassed my phone being on silent other than my alarm
it is not, thus restraint
it is not yet
Guess I’m the only one who still uses ringtones. They’re mostly from EarthBound, except when Halloween comes around I’ll sometimes use the plucking sound from It Follows soundtrack for phone rings.
I used to be a “silent phone” person until I discovered scheduled do-not-disturb. I like being able to hear when someone is calling me, I just don’t want to hear it at certain times/days.
If someone is calling me i dont want to talk to them. If they know me they know i dont want to be called
Kids today will never know the horror of having to sit through Crazy Frog TV commercials.
God damn I hate when I forget to turn off the sound again
