Hi. I am not an expert on creating Siri shortcuts but I wanted to see if Ring offered any support for them. I went through Siri settings as well as the Shortcuts app but I don't see Ring as being one of the supported apps. I will suggest this to them as a feature enhancement as I think that it would benefit their sighted as well as their visually impaired iOS users.
Holly, your assistance has been very helpful. First, I went into Ring notification settings and set the banner to "persistent", allowing the notification to remain once it appears. Once I double-tapped on the notification informing me that someone was at the door I was able to locate the buttons for answering a call and for ending a call. In my case, I was able to locate the buttons by swiping. However, it placed my phone in landscape mode during this process, which I found to be annoying as well as unnecessary. Someone else wrote to me and felt that an option to answer the call should be available if you swipe down from the notification and I absolutely agree with this. I plan to communicate these suggestions to Ring and I would ask that other Ring customers consider doing the same so that they're not just hearing this from one user. Their app also has several unlabeled buttons and they should, for the benefit of new users, label their menu button so that it doesn't announce as "hamburger."

By the time you open the app, find the button and talk, the people are probably already gone. If you had a Siri shortcut, you could just say 'Siri, talk to the front door, or whatever, like you can with the echo spot. That would save a lot of time. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
