WHAT THIS BROWSER IS
1 · CAPABILITIES (no interaction needed)
2 · SOUND
RINGER SWITCH **ON** (not silent)
Expect: you hear it. If not, audio never unlocked.
NOW FLIP THE PHONE TO SILENT, THEN:
Expect: SILENT. Polite mode — respects the switch, lets music keep playing.
THE ONE THAT MATTERS. If you hear this on silent, we can reach a pocketed iPhone.
DOES IT KILL YOUR MUSIC?
Start a song/podcast in another app, come back, tap each tone above, and note
whether the music ducks, stops, or keeps going. That is the cost of "playback".
3 · HAPTICS
THE REAL API
Expect nothing on iPhone. Works on Android.
THE iOS 17.4 SWITCH TRICK — REAL TAP
Did you feel a tap? This is the version most likely to work.
THE SAME TRICK — FIRED BY CODE
THIS is the case we actually need: your turn arriving is not a finger tap.
If this does nothing but the one above buzzes, haptics can't be used for alerts.
