I want to do this, but only for calls. All other notifications should happen normally. It annoys me that iOS doesn't support that though, it's all or nothing.

- IgorPartola 8y agoCustom ringtone that is silent and individual ring tones for the select few contacts?
- tintor 8y agoThat is genius!
- EGreg 8y agoWell you know us HN crowd...
- Meph504 8y agoWonder if you could do a no vibration pattern also, I haven't turn my ring tone on in like 10 years.
- DonHopkins 8y agoYea, Crazy Frog "The Annoying Thing" permanently turned me off to ring tones.
- afiori 8y agoI really like my Nokia 6 except I hate that you cannot disable just vibrations easily. and also that there is a high minimum volume for all sounds, sometimes at night I use earphones as speakers.
- CamperBob2 8y agoI've done this since the original iPhone first started to support custom ringtones. I used a quiet passage from a recording of Beethoven's 7th. Why Apple doesn't include a silent ringtone -- a feature found on pretty much every 'feature phone' I've ever seen or used -- is just one of life's dumb mysteries.
- DonHopkins 8y agoProbably because they were too cheap to pay the licensing fees.
- garmaine 8y agoFor silence...?
- mmjaa 8y agoTake your pick, ask for a license, see how far you get: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_silent_musical_compositions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_silent_musical_composi...
- nkrisc 8y agoI'm pretty sure they could afford to hire a composer for an original silent composition and a recording session to go along with it.
- cco 8y agoSurprised you didn't use 4'33".
- paul7986 8y agoExactly only for calls... text is my main form of communication. I want only calls from those I let ring my phone do so and all others go to voicemail. I hope Apple updates DND with more options like DND for calls only.
