What is the Alert Slider Function in OPPO Phones

The alert slider function is a unique feature available on select OPPO devices, allowing users to quickly switch between Silent, Vibration, and Ring modes. This three-segment button enhances accessibility and convenience by enabling users to adjust notification and call alerts instantly without accessing the settings menu.

How the Alert Slider Works

The slider is located either on the right side or the top-left side of the phone. From top to bottom, the slider toggles between:

1. Silent Mode:

1. Mutes all incoming calls and notifications.

2. Vibration is also disabled.

2. Vibration Mode:

1. Notifications and calls are silenced but set to vibrate.

2. Vibration cannot be turned off in this mode.

3. Ring Mode:

1. Notifications and calls produce sound.

2. Users can toggle vibration on or off separately.

Notes:

• Alarm clock vibrations persist even if vibration is disabled.

• Calls from VIP contacts will ring even in Silent or Vibration mode if vibration is enabled.

• Devices with the alert slider no longer have a mute/vibration control switch in the control center.

What Does this Feature Do When There's an Incoming Call

1. When Unlocked (On-Screen Display):

1. In all modes (Silent, Vibration, or Ring), incoming calls display as a banner.

2. Users can answer or decline the call by tapping the respective icons.

2. Lock Screen Status:

1. Incoming calls are displayed in full screen, regardless of the mode.

2. Swipe down to answer or swipe up to decline.

3. Always-On Display (AOD):

1. Calls appear in full screen for easy interaction, similar to the lock screen.
