    One time there was a real emergency and couldn’t reach my wife. So I activated find my iPhone on her phone. It will ring at full volume no matter what. Not to abuse but useful in times of emergency.

      Good to know, thanks. Wife also forgets to unmute her phone and she only answers the phone if it’s me, so if she’s aware of where I am and doesn’t expect me to be calling, she ignores any call.

        I believe there is a feature on both ios and android that chosen contacts will be unaffected by do not disturb

    I couldn’t even tell you what my ringtone or sms alert sound is. I can’t be sure the speakers in my phone have ever been used. I’ll return your call/text on my time.

    My fucking life with my wife and son. I honestly hope I get into a car accident with the steering column impaled in my chest so I can call them with my dying breaths to say I love them, only to have them not pick up because their ring is on mute. Then I’d come back as a total DICK of a ghost saying ‘See? I told you to turn your ring volume up!’

      I get the notification thing. I can’t stand abrasive notifications, but do not disturb schedules are a thing and can be set to allow certain people through (at least on Android).

      Mild sidebar: I switched from a decade’s long iPhone use to Android. They’re so much more customizable. Tell me again how my phone is better? People are there ridiculous blue bubble cult, smh.

    This is the exact reason I set up my phone to go on ring mode at full blast whenever someone truly important calls me. I know they’d only call me whenever it’s important (because I’ve told them beforehand that this happens, so they text if it’s not important).
