Yeah… 69º Fahrenheit over hear in SoCal. Although, I did have to actually dusk off my sweat pants and put on some socks the other day. I mean, it got down to 58º. Can you even imagine… Cristóbal From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Sunday, December 15, 2024 2:26 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: A new option in the Ring app finally makes it easy to answer a doorbell call Thanks for the tip, but I assume you still have to unlock your phone and tap which to me is still not as convenient a solution especially in the winter when I probably have my iPhone under my jacket and I am wearing gloves. Turning on the feature where you basically get a call from the Ring app which you answer like any other call is fantastic.

I’ve had this on my home screen for a while now. Super convenient and I don’t have to bother with the app at all. I was never able to be fast enough to activate the doorbell notification in time and get to the live view, but with this widget, if someone rings the doorbell or I hear someone at the front door, I just tap on this widget and the live view is available to me so I can ask who’s there etc. The actual Ring app I’ve got buried somewhere in a folder on another screen.

To access this, tap on your Ring Video Doorbell, then tap on Settings at the top right of the screen, then Device Settings and finally Notification Settings. Now you have the following: Rich notifications Priority Alerts Doorbell Call, get a call when visitors ring this doorbell, button Obviously this last item is what you want, tap on it and swipe until you hear “Doorbell call, Off” then tap this to turn it on. Now if somebody presses the button on your doorbell it is truly like getting a call, your phone rings and you can answer it with a 2-finger double tap or by pressing your headset button, same as answering any phone call. Once you accept the call you may of course experience a short delay as the connection is established and how good the quality of the 2-way call is will depend a lot on how good your Wi-Fi and internet connection are both in terms of speed and signal lag and also if your doorbell has a very good connection to your Wi-Fi. But at least finally I can answer a doorbell event just like any other phone call instead of having to tap the notification, hope my iPhone unlocks quickly with Face Id and then having to accept the call once the Ring app opens. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
