A text would probably wake them up. I wish we had options when sending a text to be in "passive mode" or something. Have it marked as not important and don't notify them. Just have it appear silently waiting on them to check
I think you do. “Send quietly” is a thing, right?
Only problem is Do Not Disturb will silence all your contacts. Now, you might say well just have set so it doesn't silence your important/starred/specified contacts, which is true. But then, you've got it where a started contact is sending you texts at 7 am and you sleep until 10 am, and now you're mad cause they woke you up. Only option is to silence them too, but now you're not hearing their texts/calls until it's scheduled to be off, and if an emergency ever happened you'd feel like shit.
So yeah a "silent send" option would be really nice.
Apples do not disturb blocks calls but if a caller calls back twice within 3 minutes I think there’s an option to let that go through for emergency purposes.
I"m pretty sure Apple's DND lets you set separate options for calls and notifications.
It also lets you specify apps and contacts that can get through. As well as an option for ‘repeat calls’ so if someone tries multiple times it will block them initially but let them through later even if not on any of those lists. You can also customize the Home Screen when in DND or any focus for that matter.
The point is so that you could send critical messages that notify them and low priority ones that don't. In this example, they could send a message if something was wrong or they needed help that notifies, or just a "all good" message without a notification. The receiver can't know what will be sent in the future.
No but sender can request receiver's phone to make silent notification as a metadata. afaik signal or session do not have such feature. idk if some xmpp client support it with say xmpp resource.
then how say deleted message works? or edited message?
Is this something too Apple for my Android-pilled mind to understand?
