Let's say I'm going in and out of a noisy environment. What's the trick to enabling vibration/turning up the ringtone volumes quickly without having to dig through settings and adjusting it for each app I need to adjust?
After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.
Which device are you asking about?
Most of the newer iPhones have a switch above the volume buttons that you can toggle vibrate on or off.
iPhone X
The toggle switch just sets the ringer to silent.
I only want the vibration in certain situations, not all the time.
If I'm in my office, I want all my notification alerts, ringtone, etc... on low, but audible. Wen I move to a noisy environment where I may be unable to hear the ringtones, I want to boost the volume of the ringtones and enable vibrations.
You're saying there's no simple way to switch to a "loud" profile?
Nope, there are no profiles for this in iOS.
You only have the option to enable/disable the vibration for Ring and Silent.
So many disappointments from a top of the line phone. I’ve had this capability for years
I’m one of those blessed people that never have used Android. Thank the lord, for that.
Yeah, your avatar suggests as much.
I get that coming from android, iOS will feel less. But the more you use it, the more you’ll start to appreciate it.

Oh no, I’m not coming from Android either which makes the lack of features in such an advanced platform even more shocking.

It's not even customization, it's a convenience feature.
Unfortunately when relying on customer feedback, only a very small percentage of total users are going to take the time to contemplate how new features would be beneficial to them and then take the time to compose that into something that makes technical sense and submit it through a feedback form on Apple's website.
Sometimes people need to be given a feature in order for them to realize how it can be of benefit to them.
Agreed. But sometimes a feature should be taken away for people to realize they never needed it as much.
Purchase an Apple watch
Spend more money at the Apple store to make up for the shortfalls of a $1,200 phone? Hmmm.
As if they care...
