I had to disable these alerts on my devices after some similar spurious experiences. It's too bad there was no way to simply change the alert sound or volume because I might have done that.



I just can't comprehend why there isn't more general backlash on this (rhetorically speaking).

If the ability to disable all alerts outright wasn't a thing, I would very seriously entertain the idea of going back to a dumbphone.

If given the means to change it to my normal notification sound, or heck, even my regular alarm... then sure, why not keep the alerts enabled.
