RE: Trying to use iPhone as MultiPurpose device but

[Gerardo Corripio]

Yes sound files are picked alright. The thing is fibration patterns since I tend to mute the phone and turn VoiceOver speech off, when watching or listening to Media content on the phone. Thanks for the idea of contacting Whatsapp about this. Seems to me that Whatsapp on the competition is more open, since I heard from blind Android users who are able to set up different vibration patterns on Whatsapp, for contacts.                                                                                                 Enviado desde Correo para Windows 10   De: Richard Turner Enviado: miércoles, 17 de junio de 2020 11:20 a. m.

I do not use WhatsApp, but in the notification settings for WhatsApp, you should be able to pick a unique sound file. If not, then you need to contact the WhatsApp developer. The text message settings in contacts are only for native Apple apps, so it makes perfect sense why it doesn't work for Whatsapp. That is what the notification settings are for. HTH,       Richard "He that cannot forgive others breaks the bridge over which he must pass himself,” and we forget that only grace can break the cycle of ancient hatreds among peoples. (It is notable that while I have regretted not granting grace to others, I’ve never once regretted extending it.)" - Edward Herbert On Jun 17, 2020, at 8:48 AM, Gerardo Corripio <gera1...@gmail.com> wrote:  It would be a dream come true, to be able to use our iPhones as a MultiPurpose device (reading books via Bard Mobile, Voice Dream Reader, listening to podcasts via the native podcast app, Spotify to music, watching video content on Netflix, Prime Video), but the thing that I’ve never been able to come to terms with, if why the vibrations patterns which natively when you get an IMessage, assigned to contacts, don’t work on other platforms like Whatsapp? If this were possible, I’d definitely embrace the use of only one device for everything! What I tried to do to get the most experience without interruptions is to deactivate Voiceover speech via 2-finger triple-tap, and mute the switch above the volume with only vibrations to guide me with. However since my family uses Whatsap, I’ve missed messages that by the time I realize I have them, they left the store. Or other errands they’re running, thus I missed out if I wanted this or that from the store. Of course the quickest solution would be to buy myself an IPod or IPad to use as a media-consumption device, but money is tight, thus no go there. It costs sufficient money, so as to be able to kill 2 birds with one stone, to get all the use one can out of the iPhone! Some Bluetooth speakers have the capability to leave VoiceOver on the phone, thus another solution which I?ve tried, but most of the Bluetooth speakers don’t have earbuds jacks! So what tips do you guys have if you’ve used phones for everything?                                                                                                 Enviado desde Correo para Windows 10   -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.   If you have any questions or concerns about the running of this list, or if you feel that a member's post is inappropriate, please contact the owners or moderators directly rather than posting on the list itself.   Your V iPhone list moderator is Mark Taylor.
