There are people who don't keep their phone on silent all the time? I only turn it off if I'm expecting a call for a job interview or something.

These days, knowing some people, I'm already grateful if a person is just using the default notification sound. Two highlights:

  1. Camera flash light.alongside the notification, so you get a free flashbang whenever you're sitting across from that person. I've yet to figure out how that mode is even helpful in any way and not just an annoyance for other people.
  2. Long music clips not as a ringtone, but as a notification on full blast. Essentially, that person has trained themself to drop everything when a notification comes in in order to shut down the music. I'm not an expert, but that feels like the opposite of healthy phone usage.

The camera flash notification thing is useful for people that are deaf or hard of hearing if they don't have the phone actually on their person when the notification goes off
