When app is in background, a new message alert plays a tone to let you know a message has come in. When the app is in the foreground, no alert tone plays when a new message comes in and its possible to miss the alert. This idea is to have the same new message alert tone play whether app is in foreground or background. Thank you.
i agree that vibration would be acceptable.
vibration is good!
Would a tone or a vibration be preferred as the default or the choice of both?
Please bear in mind the more choices we provide to the user the more choices they need to make.
The default for many consumer messaging apps is a vibration
