Still Deciding? Get Used to It

Can you control notification sounds, vibration and media volume separately?

Notification, ringtone, media, and alarm volume controls differ among iPhone, Pixel, and Samsung. Some Android devices provide separate sliders that iPhone does not expose in the same way.

What to do

  1. Check Settings > Sounds and Haptics on iPhone or Sound & vibration on Android.
  2. Test a media app, alert, and call.
  3. Review per-app notification sounds where supported.
