I have a mother with dementia, shes is good at removing and deleting things she shouldt do. I found a solution to that. But she also somehow manages to turn off the alert sound on messages, resulting on her not getting to read those messages. Is there a way to force save sound setting, you think? Maybe some senile App? ---

You _might_ be able to do this with the[Automate](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.llamalab.automate) app, making a flow to turn up the volume whenever it goes down. ---
