Option to disable OS level phone ringing

Current problem

When someone calls me on Fluxer, my phone rings as if I'm getting a proper phone call. But I really do not like when my phone rings and it implies someone is actually calling my phone and stresses me out. I checked all the in-app and OS settings and couldn't find anything obvious that might let me do this without potentially turning off all notifications as a whole.

Proposed change

Let me disable OS level phone ringing for calls and have it do something different (to differentiate it from proper phone calls) or make it more minor like just a notification or maybe even silence it entirely.

Platform

iOS

Additional information

I'm not sure if this is only an iOS problem, I only have iOS and haven't checked what android does or is capable of. It's also worth noting that I'm already at my desktop, and even if I'm looking at the app on desktop and have it open, the phone still rings. I don't think that should happen either, but that is probably a separate issue from this and I would still rather never allow someone on Fluxer to ring my phone at all the same way a normal call does anyway.
