Your iPhone's Silent Mode: Step by Step

To quickly and easily put your iPhone on silent mode, follow the steps below:

1. On the side of your iPhone, you will find a physical switch. Slide it down to turn on silent mode. You will then see an orange line, which means your iPhone is on silent.
2. Want to adjust the vibration? Go to Settings > Sounds & vibration. Here you can turn the vibration on or off for both silent mode and normal mode.
3. To set exceptions for important contacts, go to the person’s contact information. Tap “Ringtone,” then choose a ringtone and vibration pattern. Turn on “Always Ring” to make sure you always hear calls from this contact, even when they’re in silent mode.

Additional features: Do not disturb

In addition to silent mode, your iPhone also has a “Do Not Disturb” feature. This feature prevents you from receiving notifications, calls, or messages while your iPhone is locked. You can enable “Do Not Disturb” by going to Settings > Do Not Disturb, or by swiping down the Control Center and tapping the moon icon. You can schedule “Do Not Disturb” for specific times, such as while you’re sleeping, and set exceptions for favorite contacts.

Tips for making the most of silent mode

• Always check that your iPhone is on silent mode before entering an important event or situation. This will prevent unwanted noises at inappropriate times.
• Use the "Do Not Disturb" function during meetings or other times when you do not want to be disturbed. Remember to turn this function off again when you want to be reachable again.
• Set exceptions for important contacts and emergency notifications , so you can always be reached for emergencies or urgent matters.
