Personally, my issue is alarms rather than ringing. Silent mode doesn't silence the alarms, and I forget to check them. It would be great if this would silence

- sitkack 1y agoI have no idea why the damn phone doesn't have a global silence slider. No Noise!
- ksenzee 1y agoYep. I had an alarm go off during a funeral last year, when my phone was on silent. There really needs to be an “I’m at a funeral, dammit” mode.

- anArbitraryOne 1y agoMaybe you could do what banks do and use silent alarms?
- nico 1y agoI’ve tried it, and then I miss the alarms
- hsbauauvhabzb 1y agoiOS doesn’t support batch deleting alarms either. ‘Siri set an alarm for 45 minutes’ leaves my alarm list littered with an inactive alarm I once set, have no future use for, but is annoying enough that I’ll never delete them all. Is there an alarm set to go off in the near future? Hold on, let me scroll through 50 pages of pointless noise. iOS. It just works (tm).
- umbra07 1y agoCan Siri batch delete alarms based on the name? "hey Siri, create an alarm and name it $X" "hey Siri, delete all alarms named $X"
- layer8 1y agoThis actually works, except that upon “delete all $x alarms”, Siri asks back “do you want to delete all your alarms?”, but after confirming only deletes the $x alarms. Still, it’s not very practical, as Siri often mishears alarm names, and also you want to use different names to know what each alarm is for.
- chgs 1y agoSiri: delete all my alarms
- hsbauauvhabzb 1y agoThanks, I wasn’t aware siri could delete alarms - this requires iirc a swipe and a tap for each alarm from the manual UI, that’s still not great for the non-voice user (alarms is the only thing I use Siri for)
- layer8 1y agoIt’s possible using a Shortcut: https://www.reddit.com/r/shortcuts/comments/a2h6bf/comment/kjkw8hf/ https://www.reddit.com/r/shortcuts/comments/a2h6bf/comment/k...
- layer8 1y agoIt doesn’t silence alarms because then people would sleep through it and be late for work. Probably there should be “silencable” and “non-silencable” alarms, though I’m sure people would mix them up and use the wrong one. We really need AGI to solve that. ;)
