This can be an issue when you’re at work and don’t want to be disturbed. While having iMessage on your Mac is useful, it might become annoying when you keep on receiving notifications of new messages. This eliminates the need of having your iPhone at all times to communicate. While it’s needlessly complex, it does accomplish our goal of disabling the outgoing message sounds on your iPhone.If you own an iPhone and a Mac, you can sign into iMessage from your Mac so that messages can be sent and received right from your laptop. In this case, we have the rare opportunity to override an Apple design choice. Either you like the way Apple thinks and you therefor like their products, or you don’t. Most of these decisions can’t be changed. ConclusionĪpple makes a lot of design decisions for the user. It will be automatically set as the text alert vibration pattern once saved. Tap Save and name your completed custom vibration pattern. Make sure you’re thinking about that when creating vibration patterns so they loop in the way you desire.Ĩ. For example, if you hold for one second, release, and wait one second before tapping Stop, your vibration pattern will buzz for one second, wait for one second, then repeat. The time between the last vibration and the time you press stop will be included in the vibration pattern before it loops. When finished with your pattern, tap Stop. Holding your finger on the screen will create a continuous vibration, while tapping it will create a short vibration.ħ. Using your finger, tap out the vibration pattern on the screen. Scroll to the bottom and tap Create New Vibration.Ħ. At the top of the screen, tap Vibration.ĥ. Tap Text Tone, which should say Vibrate next to it.Ĥ. Open Settings and tap Sounds & Haptics to open the tones menu.ģ. The default vibrations aren’t very noticeable or powerful. If you get a text message from a contact with no custom text tone associated with them, your iPhone will only vibrate to alert you of the new message. It won’t affect other contacts, and it won’t affect your outgoing message sound effect. This will only play on incoming messages from this particular contact. Select the tone you want to hear when an incoming message arrives and tap Done to confirm. In the contact’s detail page, tap Edit in the upper-right corner.Ħ. Tap the contact you want to edit to open it.Ĥ. To set custom text tones for your most important contacts, follow the instructions below.ģ. Fortunately, as long as vibration is on, you will get at least a tactile alert, and maybe a small audible alert depending on the surface your phone is sitting on at the moment.
The best way to prioritize contacts is to go through your list of recent text messages. The only way to do this is manually, and there are no bulk tools that actually make it easier. To re-enable incoming message alerts, you’ll need to set personal text tones for each contact in your phone book. If that were the only solution, it wouldn’t be much better than silencing your phone completely. Of course, simply silencing Messages completely isn’t much help. But, incoming messages also won’t make a sound. The outgoing message sound will no longer play. This will not disable vibrations, but it will disable the sound for all contacts. Tap Text Tone to open the interface for changing the messaging sounds.ģ. Open Sounds & Haptics in the Settings app.Ģ. As a result, we have to first disable all sounds associated with Messages.ġ. The iPhone does not distinguish between the outgoing message sound and incoming message sound. It’s a little convoluted, but if you follow along, you can finally gain freedom from the annoyingly whimsical wooshing of Messages. The multi-step process required to turn off the outgoing message sound on your iPhone is detailed below.
Sure, it’s utterly unreasonable to be so annoyed by something so small, but I am not the only one! If you, too, hate the outgoing message sound on your iPhone, you can disable it without jailbreaking or hacking your device in any way. There is one thing, however, that drives me up the wall: the “woosh” sound on sent text messages. The iPhone’s Messages app isn’t perfect, but it’s mostly inoffensive.
