My wife and I regularly misplace our phones in the house and we also keep them on mute like 99% of the time.
Are there any apps that allow us to ping the other ones phone audibly despite it being on mute?
One is a oneplus 6t the other a s23 ultra if that makes a difference
EDIT: I found a solution i like; Homeassistant with TTS Notifications. Of couse you can still list some apps and solutions for others to find, but i am happy now!
I have my phone set so that that if people ring twice in quick succession it will still ring even if it’s in DND. And that will also work with the Ring function built into GSConnect/KDE Connect. I ring my phone from my laptop, wait a few seconds, then ring again.
So far no one has used it get past my DND.
Interesting approach, we are not in DND mode however… Just muted the sounds 🤔
To add to the other suggestion, you could set your default ringtone to silence, then set a custom ringtone for “priority contacts” so they can actually ring you.
Why not just let call sounds on and the other off? I have the call sound on so I can search for my phone and hear when someone calls me. All other sounds, like notification sounds are off. Nowadays only my parents are calling me, every other person just texts me, so this works for me, but depends on your circumstances.
