My partner plays a game and listens to a podcast for relaxing. In-game she turned off any sound but the constant ads every few minutes still start with sound. Is it possible to mute the game app in the Android settings?

    Not sure about other phones, but for samsung you can get “Sound Assistant” from the Galaxy Store. This will let you split the sound, app by app in the default volume menu that appears when you use the volume buttons.

      This feature unironically turned me from a decade long Samsung hater into a Samsung shill. The fact that it’s still not in base Android is just embarrassing.

        This and all the other tools featured in Good Lock, Pentastic, One Hand Operation +, Theme Park, Routines +. Crazy how many features integrate seamlessly into the samsung OS
