Enable App Notifications on Silent Mode

Hi,


I vehemently do not like having my phone in anything but silent mode. Sounds give me anxiety.


However, I need to get audible notifications from a company I contract with for time sensitive job offers.


Is there any way to allow specific apps to do this?


The focus mode doesn’t work for me, because I still need the other notifications to pop up visibly.

iPhone 13, iOS 16

Ahoy there -Artemis-, 


You can control the notifications for each app independently in Settings > Notifications > [app name]. From there you can turn off sounds for each app, allow notifications on the Lock Screen - or not and more. Here’s an article with more information, including some screenshots. Use notifications on your iPhone or iPad


If you disable sound for the apps you don’t want to produce an audible notification you can then leave the sound on for your device, but only get audible notifications from the apps with sounds enabled. 


Thanks.
