Any apps to find your phone if it's on mute? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

My wife and I regularly misplace our phones in the house and we also keep them on mute like 99% of the time.

Are there any apps that allow us to ping the other ones phone audibly despite it being on mute?

One is a oneplus 6t the other a s23 ultra if that makes a difference

EDIT: I found a solution i like; Homeassistant with TTS Notifications. Of couse you can still list some apps and solutions for others to find, but i am happy now!

Can you not whitelist each other as a contact that will override the mute?

Not quite sure where i would do that in either of those settings.

We don't use the google contacts app and the ones we use don't have anything like that. Settings are pretty convoluted and the search function doesn't help me

Settings > Sounds & Vibration > Do Not Disturb > Select "Favorites" in the drop down under Exceptions.

Then in your contacts app, favorite each other and test it out!
