Yeah, why can't you also set the phone to vibrate or emit some sound every X minutes when you missed a call? There are times I don't check the phone for days, because it just sits on the table telling me nothing.



Yes - it is an interesting decision that you can set repeat notifications for messages, but not for a phone call, which is usually considered more urgent.

Wow! Did you know that you can now choose to set repeat notifications for messages up to ten times? Still only the option of two minute intervals, but I missed that update. May have been with iOS 16.

Edit: and it probably goes without saying that I miss notification lights from the few phones I’ve had which had that feature.


Now I have to check that.


Not checking your phone for days likely makes you an extreme outlier. Most people are checking their smartphone every 10 minutes or so.


Yeah, I let the oppressor device suffer.
