    I love this feature - I have separate vibration patterns for my wife and my girlfriend, so I can easily tell if a text is from an important person without taking it out of my pocket (and I refuse to wear a watch)

    Your idea sounds cool, but then I’d have to learn Morse code which doesn’t sound fun to me

      My wife’s vibration pattern for a call is SOS in morse. No side-piece for me though. Very happily married, just know if she calls it is important.

        > Very happily married,

        How relevant. Sounds oddly like a “gotcha” of sorts; still, I can’t help but wonder how happily married you really are considering you felt the need to bring it up entirely unprompted in an otherwise entirely unrelated note.

          It’s a joke. Parent mentioned wife and girlfriend.

            I don't get the joke

              My open friend said the same thing before his wife left him for the boyfriend and took his house. Good times.
