I recently switched from an Android phone and the only thing I really miss is ways to automatically adjust settings, mostly volumes. I’ve tried with Automations (can’t adjust the ringer volume, can’t run silently based on time?) and with Focuses (will only do a few of the things I want). Vibrate-only during work hours, vibrate and a dim screen at night, bright screen and low volume in the early morning, is that so hard Apple?
How is the general experience compared to Android? I've been considering switching myself heheh
It definitely gets a thumbs-up from me! Except for the volume and brightness settings thing that I miss, most of the other utility things I needed an app for on Android are built in, which feels way less sketchy. I've tinkered around with automations and got some good ones that set reminders for me based on different things like where I am at a certain time. It also just feels smoother, and I got SnowHaze for a browser because privacy.
I haven't had any problems. I read that changing the notification sound for a particular app has to be offered by the app and some of them don't, but the ones I wanted it for all had it (messaging apps mainly). Focus modes will filter notifications, that works fine (Sleep, Work, etc.) I hadn't heard that they were worse, so I'm not sure what else to expect from them.
