Independent notifications volume settings

What is the logic behind linking notifications sound volume with ringer/alert volume (iPhone 12 Pro Max with iOS 15.1)?


I'm missing many of the notifications just because I don't want to have a heart attack when my phone does ring, because I've set the ringer volume to the max in hope to hear notifications.

This maxing out does not help at all, I cannot control notifications sound level. Ring/alerts are controllable just fine.


And yes, I'm seeing this question being asked for I guess over a decade ago... not sure this one will make a change (this simple change)...


Thank you in advance.

Appreciate your effort and quick reply. I do understand that volume buttons are affecting ringer/alerts and "other sound effects" (which, I guess, notifications are in that last category). Nevertheless, I hope you don't mind me iterating my point which is - why it is not separated in the first place. In that sense, I was not surprised by your answer and you're apsolutely right - this is something I should have targeted to the feedback section.

Anyways, thanks again.
