One time there was a real emergency and couldn’t reach my wife. So I activated find my iPhone on her phone. It will ring at full volume no matter what. Not to abuse but useful in times of emergency.

Good to know, thanks. Wife also forgets to unmute her phone and she only answers the phone if it’s me, so if she’s aware of where I am and doesn’t expect me to be calling, she ignores any call.
I believe there is a feature on both ios and android that chosen contacts will be unaffected by do not disturb
Imagine having your phone make noise. The horror.
I'll take my constant missed call and unread notifications, thank you very much.
I can't think of the last time I took an unscheduled phone call. And there's no notifications that require my real-time attention.
Brah mine every time.
She loses her phone like 15 times a day and asks if I can help find it, im like yeah I'll just ring it knowing full well she has the fucking thing on silent, and she replies with its on silent... Welp I tried to help looks like you're on your own with this one, good luck in your search, to which she replies something along the lines of go fuck yourself
Deploy boomer joke:
"Easy, I'm married"
I couldn't even tell you what my ringtone or sms alert sound is. I can't be sure the speakers in my phone have ever been used. I'll return your call/text on my time.
"I love you babe, the plane is going down. I just wanted to hear your voice one more time"
Edit downvotes:
'uh it's my time how dare you"
people like you are the reason we, as a society, spend so much time playing phone tag
My fucking life with my wife and son. I honestly hope I get into a car accident with the steering column impaled in my chest so I can call them with my dying breaths to say I love them, only to have them not pick up. Then I'd come back as a total DICK of a ghost saying 'See? I told you to turn your ring volume up!'
Apple has a thing where you can set up people to break through silent mode if they call 3x in a row
Android has a similar feature where favourite contacts will go through
Yep. Got mine set up for that and those that call twice in a row.
Not silent, which is vibration only (if setup to be the default), just do not disturb, which even silences vibrations.
The most frustrating thing to me is when I'm with her in person she always has her phone, when I try to call she's like [what the hell is this ringing thing]
This really hits home...

My notification sound is the "YEAH". I can't watch the movie scene anymore the yeah has become its own thing.

Why TF do they keep their phone on silent is beyond me.
Is this a worldwide wife plot, or what?
Mines on silent unless I'm asleep so work can call me if necessary. If I'm awake there's no reason not to be texting me instead. If I deem it necessary I'll call back but you better fucking tell me what it's about in the message and not just "Hey call me" or some other vague nonsense.
Are you me? Wtf.
That's a real thing, lol
This is the exact reason I set up my phone to go on ring mode at full blast whenever someone truly important calls me. I know they'd only call me whenever it's important (because I've told them beforehand that this happens, so they text if it's not important).
I’m glad it’s not just me lol.
