How come mini apps that have notification style sounds don’t honor a phone’s sound/vibration setting?

For example, the QR app started making a chime when claiming. They’re not the only one. I DO NOT WANT SOUND when I’m mini apping and I have sound off.  

Many mini apps do this. 

I’d like a Farcaster app control over this if I can get it.

Whatever your decentralized, borderless, neutral, censorship-resistant open blockchain question is, the answer is YES… to Crypto!

Yes2

yes, same issue.  I very much dislike when the podcast I'm listening to is stopped because of a "ding" in Daily Active  User app.  

I DON'T WANT THE DING

and I don't want my podcast to stop

I’ve literally stopped using miniapps that I enjoy because they don’t respect sound settings, insisting on assaulting me every. damn. time. 
There are others I just won’t open if I’m listening to music because it will stop my music and play whatever crap they decided was essential to the experience lol. No ty!

Google lets me mute individual tabs

I think Farcaster should let me control the sounds/notifications of miniapps, both globally and individually.

But still, I'm setting my entire phone to silent.  A mini app should  not be able to break that silence, much like when I set my entire computer to speaker off, a program shouldn't be able to break out of that jail.

Yea. If your phone is on silent it definitely should not be making sounds

Hmmm...dig what you are saying but if I think of a web browser it does not have control over the audio in web pages. You should check out my Myspace page

@pichi finally, more people are speaking up

been longing for an all sounds off option from day one

interesting, good point

need to look into how web apps interact with mobile device sound settings

likely something we need to publish a best practice on and encourage developers to follow

We need a Mute button in the mini app options.

Yeah mentioned this issue a bunch of times. They basically bypass the sound states from your phone.

Your general sound option silences notifications and alerts but not media.

Youtube does the same thing.

Good you've mentioned it! I was about adding sounds to my miniapps!

Arbitrum

would stop using all of them if they have sounds xd

We are adding audio too in our new version of the app, but at least we will have also a setting to mute :P

Have you played henlokart yet?
That music is loud af lol

They are disrespecting the phone settings 🤣

totally get the vibe, sound popping off when you want quiet is like a rogue signal jamming your frequency. app-level control feels like the right move, letting users tune their own experience without the static. hopefully devs catch the wavelength and dial it in soon
