Original release notes
Chimes gone quiet? The new Chime Self-Test finds the cause in 15 seconds — plus real-volume previews and new 10-minute intervals for Pro. NEW • Chime Self-Test: sends you a real test chime and pinpoints exactly what silenced it — permissions, Focus, Silent mode, or volume. • Real-volume preview: hear your chime at its true notification volume (Ringer & Alerts), not the media volume. • Silent mode alert: if the Ring/Silent switch is muting your chimes, you'll see it right on the home screen. • 10-minute intervals (Pro): a chime every 10 minutes, with six customizable slots per hour. IMPROVED • Several chime sounds are now louder and more consistent across themes. • Clear, specific guidance when Background App Refresh is off or Low Power Mode is on — including exactly when chimes would stop. • If chimes were ever interrupted, the app now tells you what happened and why.
