    Tired of being woken up by friends trying to Facetime me, how do I tell my iPodTouch and iPadPro to not audibly announce Facetime calls?

    I have friends in different countries who will occasionally try to contact me via a Facetime or Facetime Audio call when my country is still asleep. This means that my iPodTouch starts going crazy like an alarm from wherever it’s plugged in charging for the night. How do I tell my iPodTouch...

    Compact UI for Phone and Facetime calls

    When a phone call (or Facetime I assume too) comes in, it's in "mini mode". Great. Looks cool. But say I want to switch the call to speaker instead of iPhone. It changes to full-screen mode and I can't see a way to get back to mini mode. Is it even possible or is it only when the call comes...
