    They can do all of this but we still can’t control the volume of just one app like our music app and game app separately

    I like and use much of this. None of the FaceTime stuff though. Only thing I don’t like is Notification Summary showing up all day instead of popping up. Telling me “we’re gonna notify you of this later!” all day long defeats the purpose of not appearing on notifications. ????
