The feature can be found inside <strong>Settings  Sounds and Haptics<\/strong>.

That volume is controlled independently from within \u201cBedtime\u201d settings.<\/p>\n<p>It also explains that notifications for incoming texts and system sounds, like the camera shutter sound and keyboard clicks, are included under \u201cAlerts and System Sounds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Only Apple can tell us why it took so long to offer a feature that\u2019s this useful, and one that\u2019s existed on Android for years and years. It clearly prioritized AI in previous years. But at least this time, it seems to be offering some of the AI features it has talked about.<\/p>\n<p>I still remember WWDC 2024, with the promise of Apple Intelligence \u2014 one that was never quite fulfilled.
