@apple_enthusiast Note for Mastodon readers: I cross posted this to Lemmy. Let’s see how it works!

Viewing and posting from Memmy on iOS, for what it’s worth!

Good list. Would like to see the separate volumes, especially when it comes to CarPlay. I have notifications silenced generally so nbd for me, but my ears explode when my dad gets a text in his car. If he turns down the alert volume then the call volume goes too, so he just leaves it at “tinnitus inducing” at all times.

Clipboard history would also be pretty great.

@anolemmi It’s supposed to be automatic as to which volume level is adjusted. For example, if you adjust the volume while Siri is speaking, it adjusts the Siri volume (only). But I find it tricky to quickly grab the phone and adjust it before Siri stops talking.

It’s understandable that users are confused that invisible volume levels are being adjusted; and either the one they wanted was not adjusted or others were adjusted unintentionally.

Hmm well we’ve tried when the notification alert is playing to lower the volume from the car radio volume, but that seems to change both (or all) volumes the same. I suppose that makes sense and we need to change it with the phone volume buttons, but still as you said this is invisible and non-intuitive and can easily be done better by Apple.

@anolemmi Hmm. This reply didn’t get mirrored to Lemmy.

Not sure exactly what you’re seeing but this comment came through just fine on my instance, lemmi.social.

However this does seem to be one of the current known issues/limitations with Lemmy, comments not always mirroring out to all the instances. I see comments all the time that appear to be replying to nobody, for some reason the parent comment doesn’t always make it to my instance.

It’s definitely more often than just the occasional case of somebody deleting a comment.
