You need to take your phone off silent.

Yeah I thought it was broken on iOS too, then flipped the silent switch and it worked.

Well, this fixed it. I bet there is a lot of confusion for the people reporting it just works, while their phone is on silent. Seems to work on silent if you have headphones on.

Interesting. I actually like this behavior and wish more applications would use it!

Having thought about it, it makes sense for the web browser. Though I think the app should do something to bypass it, but I realize it is probably just a browser embed.

I peeked at the source code and it’s pretty wild to see this is what JavaScript can do these day.

Works for me on iOS 17.4.1, iPhone 15 Pro.

Definitely getting it for my kids!
