I wonder if it'll finally have notifications of missed calls, after 16 years. Ugh, the responses are just depressingly ignorant for a tech site.

They sell a convenient wrist monitor for missed calls.

  Ha! Let's call it just another dongle.

    I haven’t had my phone unmuted since I started wearing the watch. They are tremendously complementary.
    - ghaff 3y ago
      Not that I wear my watch a lot of time but that’s far more reliable notification than anything in my phone. Though I turn the vast bulk of my potential notifications off anyway.

What are you talking about. Of course it has missed call notifications. Always has.
- ShadowBanThis01 3y ago
  Nope. It has missed-TEXT notifications. After years of complaints about the lack of missed-call notifications, what does Apple do? Add them for TEXTS only. You can have them repeat up to 10 times. Now go to the nearly-identical settings screen for Phone. NONE. Here's a post about it.

      Who are you asking? It must not be me, since there's an elaborate explanation (not that it's needed) above.

        to be fair your original unedited comment was so vague no one got it until you clarified with the blog post. so maybe there is something for you to take away there

        > since there's an elaborate explanation (not that it's needed) Clearly the explanationn is needed. Most of us didn't understand what you meant. After grasping what you're asking for, I get your request, and I think it'd be nice if Apple implemented this for you and others, but I don't think iOS is broken, nor would I enable such an option if it were implemented – it wouldn't solve a problem for me. You might try to understand that you are in a minority in wanting this, and that the current behavior is actually acceptable for the vast majority of iPhone users.

        I don't buy that. It's just a tiny number of people who 1. Take the time to speak up about it 2. Speak up about it in a forum that you're aware of Another problem is the diminishing number of people over time who were exposed to more-functional products that were standard in the past. The obvious feature requested here was present on millions of telephonic devices for decades, including cell phones. Android phones have it. But the iPhone is now 15 years old, like many of its users. The Web is rife with requests for this feature. I posted a tiny sampling of them above.

Are you talking about some specific implementation that you want? Because I know when I miss a call on iOS... Edit: they want the "Repeat Alerts" setting that "Messages" has but for "Phone" which is missing the option. Settings > Notifications > Messages > Customize Notifications > Repeat Alerts

When hasn't it had a notification for a missed call, modulo whatever bug must be plaguing you?

I don’t get it; I receive notifications for missed calls.

I've been using iPhones since 2010 and they have always had this feature.
- ShadowBanThis01 3y ago
  Really? Where do you set the number of repeats, then? Here's what Apple added for missed TEXTS, but not for phone calls: https://i.imgur.com/nhCrOcL.png https://i.imgur.com/nhCrOcL.png If you can tell me where to find it for phone calls in iOS, I'll appreciate it.
