Now I feel a need to know: does Grindr really have a custom notification noise, one that sounds different from any other app!?
I’ve seen a buncha stories similar to this one about people freaking out thinking it’s coming from their phone. I have to imagine it’s some big unique thing that puts you in mind of half naked navy sailors swabbing the deck to show tunes or something with how often I’ve seen it refrenced
I have an uncle who’s a homosexual “pray away the gay” ultra conservative Christian currently married to a woman. Scummiest most hateful bigoted abuser I’ve ever had the displeasure of meeting. He recently had a heart attack, unfortunately he recovered, but I would like to give satan another shot at the soul he’s owed. Alas, I moved leagues away to get away from those people so no dice. Good idea to bank though.
or the pornhub drum sting lol
Pro tip: You can customize the notification sound
now, even on the free tierat the OS level. Don’t tell the conservatives.My phone is on 24/7 silent mode so I’m not up to date, but isn’t this something you could do on the OS level?
Ah, my bad! You’re right. I completely forgot I set it via the notifications panel on Android.
I’m going to play the grindr sound if I ever come across you
come across you
Are we still doing phrasing?
Absolutely
If you have freedom OS, definitely
That is legitimately thoughtful! That will keep plenty of users safe without them having to “closet” the app by muting it. It wouldn’t have crossed my mind to do that. Nice job, Grindr!
Absolutely here for the chaos
“I know that sound! My husband plays that mobile game all the time!”
bluetooth speaker taped under someone’s seat ought to do it
Like a political fart machine
Or the Truth Social theme to root out pedophiles
Play the Pornhub sound and watch every teen in the family get a Pavlovian response.
I just wanna go up to the teens table and ask them what 6-7 is and watch their reaction
The cleanup is so messy though.
It’s gonna be a sordid family affair.
Loving the chaotic evil energy at play here.
Bonus points if you make this trick work during grace without everyone looking at you immediately.
that’s the best time to maximize psychological damage.
Devious
Hate seeing this punchable face. Don’t normalize him.
Don’t normalise him? He’s the president…? I don’t think a Lemmy boycott of reaction pics is gonna sway much.
What does that noise sound like?
Here, I’ll help😈
Do different apps have different notification sounds? I’m a vibrate only person but I thought a notification sound was a notification sound, not some custom ring tone.
I’m a sounder. I’ll take sounding over the vibrator every time!
Can someone pass the eye bleach? I need to unsee this comment bad
Best I can do is hand you a smooth bore flintlock pistol.
ig it depends on OS? like maybe on IOS apps can choose their own sound? i always had a system wide notification tone on android
On Android some apps have their own notification sounds, too. It’s very common with chat apps and other social apps (dating, language exchange, that kind of thing) and some very annoying games that earn a pretty quick disable or uninstall from me.
