In trying to keep text alerts from sounding while I'm on a call, I keep seeing pages with instructions like this:
How to disable SMS text alerts during calls on Galaxy S8/S8+ Plus
From the Home screen of your device, simply access the general Menu and follow these steps:
Tap on Settings;
Identify the Sound & Notifications icon, then tap on it too;
Select the Other sounds option;
Tap on Call;
Tap on Call Alerts;
Tap on Call SignalsLook for the option labeled as “Notification during calls”;
Uncheck its box.
That might work on the S5; it doesn't work on the S8. For one thing, sounds and notifications are two separate selections; you can't get there from here.
So how do you silence text alerts during calls on the S8?
