    Hi @Gregwlsn 

    Thank you - I've marked this thread as a feature request and it will be seen by the relevant teams for consideration. Keep the ideas coming!

    Is there any truth to this post by buzz?

    Seems ridiculous to me.

    Hi @Rudie 

    Honestly, it sounds like they’re discussing volume control using the hardware volume buttons on a phone, and have posted in the wrong thread. We did indeed use a “hack” to get round that (we played silence constantly), but were asked not to do so. So, no - I think on that thread, they are inaccurate.

    Although I have heard nothing at all regarding the return of widgets or the notification bar media controls, I believe the notification bar media controls will have to return for alarm snoozing to work properly. I think it’s safe to say that widgets are lower priority.

    I hope this helps.
