    Proton VPN & whatsapp

    Does anyone know if there is an issue with Proton and Whatsapp? I have been using it today for the first time and had no issues, but when I turned it off, a bunch of Messages came through. What VPN works well with whatsapp? Because Proton works well with Signal. Thanks

I am beginning to think it's a hardware issue, because it's "stereo speakers" and I think only one works. Also, in my texting app, Textra, you can send yourself a test text, so I do...

    I have a problem, it seems to be it started today, the volume for my notifications is extremely low and the volume level is all the way up. Also, this effects the volume of the ringer, BUT if I play music or watch a video, that is loud. I don't know if it's a hardware issue or software issue...

    Increase vibration intensity

    I don't think so. I think that is written into the devices software. I know with Samsung you can, but I am not sure about other devices. I have a Nokia and have not found out how.

    Bluetooth Issues - Audio

    I have the XR20. With every Samsung I had, it played the ringtone, that is why I ask because that is what I am used to.
