That's kinda' it. I'm on Android. My volume buttons don't do anything when the app is open.

Whoa. That should not be on by default. I'm all for experimental UI but I doubt many users will know what's happening with their volume. Apps should not be remapping hardware buttons in unfamiliar ways.

I've had several instances where a post hit me with surprise porn (that's somewhat on me for not noticing what community it was from on c/all) and then people are around hearing stuff. Cute me panicking when trying to shut it up.

Or even an innocent video that I can't hear. Definitely never change volume buttons by default without any warning.

Yeah I'm surprised Android even let's apps do this without a special permission.

But what if the volume buttons brought you porn? If you're not into porn, then what about if the volume buttons brought you Jesus?
