For me it’s the option to individually lock apps.

Different volume for ringtone and alarm. That’s the thing I miss the most of my Android. My alarm are always at 15% volume, but I want my ringtone at 100% volume. It sucks…

I want it the other way around. Ringtone at 15% and alarms at 100%. Kinda lame we can’t keep them separate.

Yeah I get they have switch between buttons but it’s so annoying keeping track of what level is what.

In the future I’d like it if they had two volume switches, one for speaker the other for ringer

You can set the alarm volume when using sleep focus mode. Keeps it independent from the ringer. Not a fix for regular alarms though

You can set a specific ringtone and volume for your alarm if you using a sleep plan in the health app.

I also find it strange you can’t change the 9 minute snooze or whatever it is

Unless I’m confused, you can do this? It’s definitely clunkier than Android’s but you are 100% able to split them.

Like on the left is my current media volume for videos that might play on Facebook. But in the settings there is my Ringtone, Alerts, Alarm volume which cannot be changed by my volume rockers, because I disabled “Change with Buttons”

Edit: sorry I need to read closer, you said ringtone vs alarms, but I’ll leave this up in case someone didn’t know about this.

I don’t have that silent mode section 🤔

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Might be 15 only, due to the switch being gone

also for different apps. for example a game, and a media app

And calendar alarms! I hate having to remember to turn my Saturday alarm on once a month for an event i go to. I just want to add a date to it then not have to remember to either turn it off from being on every Saturday, or turn it on before the Saturday i want it in

This. And the ringer volume keeps turning itself down because of some feature to protect users from loud alerts or something. Keeps making me sleep through my alarm.

Individual volumes in general, sometimes I wanna watch something that doesn’t have important audio while blasting music

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Also alarm raising in volume slowly without any black magic hackery

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Actually if you set a sleep schedule in the health app it has it’s own ringtone volume, this is how I use it and it works very well

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

The fact that I can't have ringtone on without also having screenshot and camera sounds is crazy
