    What would your ideal fix be? “Mute for one hour“, a prompt to pause notifications just for that chat until no sooner than audio is paused…?

    Also would putting your phone on silent work? Maybe a “driving” focus mode if you’re on iOS where you allowlist only certain conversations…

    ([iOS] Nope can’t do that, maybe silent mode or muting that conversation it is… the latter of which can not be done with a shortcut!)

    Room for improvement!

      There was a feature I had on android several years ago where you could limit notification sounds by time. You could pick from 1 to like 10 minutes. The first one would ping you and the rest for that timeframe would be silent notifications until the timeframe ended and treated the next one like normal.

      Edit: still a feature on the texting app I use, Textra. I like their features so much I paid for it and keep reverting back when trying stock or anything else. I’m sure there’s some big flaw I don’t know about since it’s an old SMS app though.

      I can think of a few ways. If I’m driving, my phone is connected to my cars Bluetooth and alerts me to incoming texts visually with pop up on my dash screen. I would prefer if I could chose to have me notifications default to just a screen popup on the car instead of interrupting audio while they’re connected. (the actual pop up blocks literally everything in the screen and never disappears until it is replaced by another popup or you press “ignore”, which is terrible design, but that’s toyota’s fault not my phone’s).

      And at no time have I ever needed to have my phone ding back to back to back. I would also like the ability to set it to only ding once every, say, 30 seconds (let the user choose the time frame) if i haven’t picked up my phone in between. If multiple notifications come up in that time, once was enough to let me know I have something waiting. I’ll get to it when I get to it.

        Great ideas!

        I think I do like (at least vibrations) back to back cuz I think I’ll subconsciously count them and kinda understand the scale of what I’ll find when I can check the phone… but how long could that option take to add, I wonder. Mayyyybe it’s the regression testing / interop testing that it complicates, generally speaking?

      My ideal fix would be waterboarding people who design apps that ping me every time someone that isn’t me reacts to a comment that isn’t mine in a group text I didn’t start.

        I fucking hate my family chats for this. My mom and my In-Laws all have iPhones, so of course they’re always using the chat app reactions on everything. For some reason, that apparently means I need to receive said reaction as a separate text message on android. The text “Lexi: laughed at ‘The dog farted’” never needs to be sent to my phone. Even worse is when we share baby photos or something and suddenly 20 instances of “Mom: Loved an image” “Adam: Laughed at an image” “Dad: Liked an image” start crowding out the actual conversation. I don’t even know what specific images they’re referencing! Why do I need those texts!? And don’t get me started on the potato quality of videos because Apple refuses to use anything but their proprietary compression software and doesn’t allow Android to properly decompress them.

          One of the unsung advantages of being trans and having bigoted parents is not having to deal with that bullshit. I can’t imagine loving and valuing my parents, that sounds like hell.
