Automatically turn on silent/vibrate mode

Hello. So I’m new to Apple. I have been an avid Android user for 15+ years. This question may have already been asked and answered, so my apologies if so. Is there a way to automatically turn on silent/vibrate mode when I am at a specific location or at a specific time of day without manually have to do it myself? Is there a 3rd party app that I could use to set this up? For example, I set my Samsung phone to automatically vibrate and turn off my WiFi when I arrived to work Monday through Friday. This was done through Bixby and there were also 3rd apps that you could download in the play store that would do the same thing; they were called routine/tasker apps.


All feedback is greatly appreciated!


Thanks,


Brandon

Hello bfreetigeralum,



Thanks for that info and for choosing the Apple Support Communities. If we understand correctly, you are trying to automate certain behaviors and features on your iPhone that you are used to on your previous Android phone. If this is possible, you would have to create a Shortcut, and here is a guide to getting started with Shortcuts:
