Hello

I remember that some time ago Apple had a feature where the sound of your notification in iOS was not played anymore in all your devices if it was detected that you were actively using one. The notification sounds only came on that device then. Was it not like this? Or it was just if you were working in the Mac that notification sounds only played there and didn't play in your iOS devices?

I have been experiencing a cacophony of notification sounds lately when holding my iPhone and working at the same time on my Mac. The notifications are played on every device I own (iPad Pro, iPhone 7+ and the Macbook pro). So you can imagine the noise when a notification goes off?

I am pretty sure that this was a feature offered before and don't know when it stopped working.

Any ideas on this?
 
Still working that way. Make sure Bluetooth and WiFi is turned ON on all devices.

It does fail sometimes though
