I would HATE if my phone kept on informing me of missed calls or messages when I’ve put it down somewhere. I’ll check it in my terms; that’s why it’s not in my hand

One of my previous (Android) phones had a red light that would blink if there was a missed call or message. I found it extremely convenient.

1990s phones had this option, in addition to AUDIBLE alerts.

Again, as an OPTION. It's incredible that people go apeshit when you suggest this optional feature that everyone accepted as standard for years. You can see it right here in this thread of "tech" people.

This is why design and usability are going backward.

That's why it is an OPTION. An OPTION.

Nobody said you'd be FORCED to endure the horrible nightmare of being informed of missed calls.

What world do you live in?
