No one calls or writes me so it’s a non issue.

Because apple knows best, silly.

Buy an Android if you love to tinker.

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.

Long past time for Apple to add this capability. Android has had it for ages. Samsung with Good Lock can even have app-specific audio settings.

I never use the ringer because I always have my AirPods or Apple Watch with me. I get notifications on both.

Any where to request features that Apple will actually look at?

Mine is turned off because I get my notifications and calls via my watch.

Are posts with actual substance allowed here?

Agreed.

For me its as simple as keeping the ringer on at night for emergencies, but turn off texts for my idiot friend who sends his ponderings while on the crapper at 6 am, central time.

Yes it’s silly!! My ringer volume is tied to the volume on the Facebook app. WHY?! It makes no sense.

I’ve had any noise turned off for the last 19 years of owning a phone, any phone. I still to this day think it’s weird that people need their shit on full volume going off all the time.

I have kept my ringer off 24/7. Getting anxiety attacks from the calls and dings. I only turn it back on when my family and I are shopping in case we need to find each other.

Every time I play music through a my google nest and start watching a video I am in pain . Oh you want to listen to the video? Pretty sure you want to turn the music up at the same time right ?

I like just having everything muted, I thought it was by design lol. Boomers use their phones with sound on, zoomers use muted.
