How do you manage sound profiles?

From what I can tell the iPhone (ios 5x) does not have a feature equivalent to the Blackberry "Sound Profile". Nor do I see an app that will provide this.

For example, on the Blackberry I could set a sound profile called "Loud" which would have the individual ringtones, vibrate and volume settings I want for when I'm in a noisy place. I could have another setting called "Quiet" with the settings I want in a quiet place, a setting for "Silent" etc. Then I could simply select which Sound Profile I want to be in effect. Very useful, very convenient, very easy to use.

The iPhone has the ability to set global sound parameters (volume, alert sound, ring tone) BUT does not have the ability to save sets of global sound parameters for instant retrieval and use by the user. This is, in my view, a shortcoming. Not a show-stopper, but a shortcoming.

Not to compare Blackberry devices to iPhones, but the "sound Profile" feature in the Blackberry is very useful and I wish Apple would provide ths feature and urge them to do so.

Sound profiles are not a feature of the iPhone. Sorry. You can submit feedback to Apple requesting this feature by using the appropriate link on the Feedback page:

Best of luck.

Of course the wonderous i-phone 4s had many advantages over my blackberry but user customization and management of audible alerts and sound profiles is not one of them. Even my first blackberry pearl had this feature 6+ years ago. Very curious why Apple has ignored this basic, what I would consider "quality of life" feature. If you have multiple emails, business, personal, spam collector why should they all be relegated to a global alert setting. Either I get an audible alert everytime any email of any priority lands in any inbox or I get nothing. I-phone is supposed to be about customization not limitation and inconvenience... wont even start on minisule battery life or the inability of Verizon service to allow calls and data usage simultaneously. There shouldn't be an App for sound profiles... its should be within the basic out of the box OS. Wake up i-phone programmers catch up with the 2006 blackberry pearl. Shameful that this simple feature is absent.

There are apps available that will accomplish this. There's at least one in the App Store that I found.

I can't seem to find this app.. Do you know by chance what it was called?

Use the feedback link Meg provided. We are all users like you. You are not addressing Apple here.
