Pixel 6 Ring & Text Volume

[Android Central Question]

Why did Google tie both the ringer and text notification volumes together? I turn off my text volume and leave the ringer volume on when sleeping. Now that the volumes are combined it's a pain to schedule/rule what I want to do during my sleep hours. Are there any 3rd party apps that will allow me to control both volumes separately?

Welcome to Android Central.

There are actually several apps that can break up the volume into categories like Phone Calls, Notifications, media and system sounds. Head over to the Play Store and search, volume, for all of the options you care to see.

In meantime you could register here at AC and we could move this thread to the Pixel forums where you could talk to and ask questions to other Pixel users and see what they are doing or if they've found a better solution.
@mustang7757 should this be in the Pixel 6 forum threads?

I moved it to pixel 6 Forum for specific traffic

I like Volume Ace. You can set up a widget with profiles and then just two clicks to multiple custom profiles (shhh, medium, all loud). Like to know for certain that media/browser is muted when in a meeting!

That sounds like a really useful app

It doesn't work though. It doesn't separate Ringer from Notification volumes.
