Turn off mute sound on iPhone

I need to use the mute/speaker button a lot. When I use either button the phone makes an audible sound letting the other person know I muted them. Not ideal for work meetings when I need to mute, and unmute frequently. Please fix to allow disabling this feature. It was not on the previous iPhones. This is not good.

Hello,

i would also like a fix to this. I do not like that the mute button makes a noise. I have tried everything and nothing seems to work. And like everyone else says eric_g1 was not helpful. Please fix the problem

Wow, please update your “answer” to a Solution or delete.

Otherwise note reason redirect to feedback page is greater than live chat or Genius Bar reservation

Initial Reply felt good natured then became misdirected until abandoned with a cliffhanger….

Agree with everyone else here… please remove this horribly annoying sound as soon as possible! I completely hate it when on conference calls (or any call for that matter!). Why can’t we at least have the option to turn this off?!

This stupid bug is causing safety issues and security concerns.

When you put your phone on silent, that means no noise should be created.

This poor setting is very harmful in some circumstances

FIX IT ASAP. DO not make stupid changes please

Just who do you think you are talking to here? Apple? You are NOT. This is a user to user only forum. We don't work for Apple, so demanding anything be fixed here is pointless. Apple doesn't read these user forums for feedback.

Provide feedback to Apple via this link --> https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone/

Do any of you posting understand this is a user to user only forum and you are not writing Apple, just other users.

Asking Apple to do anything here gets you nothing.

If anyone doesn't like the sound, provide feedback to Apple via this link --> Feedback - iPhone - Apple

There is no point in complaining here because you are complaining to other users that share the same views, that we hate the sound as well.

At least give an option if y'all are going to add a feature to the update that nobody asked for.

No one reading or participating in this thread is responsible for adding this or capable of changing it. Let Apple know your thoughts here:

Hello Sim9,

We see you're looking to turn off the sound that occurs when tapping some buttons within the Phone app. We can help get that headed in the right direction for you.

Apple always welcomes feedback on how to improve apps and services. If you'd like to provide some of your own, the best place to do so would be on the dedicated product feedback page here: Product Feedback

Cheers.

Months in and i keep getting emails if people with the same problem still making mention of it. As a matter of fact it was inquiring of this issue that i was told to write to this forum which is probably how and why everyone else is. If it can’t be fixed and nobody at apple is actually taking a tally of the complaints coming in about this and nobody on here had a viable fix then like other sited shouldn't this thread be closed from comments and left up so people can read it to learn this and also so that people don’t continue to receive emails reminding them that there is nothing to be done except buy a different smartphone on a different os?

I am also having this same issue. How can I turn off the sound when pressing mute. It’s terrible I have to mute all the time. It’s so bad that after using iPhone for over a decade I’m considering switching to a different phone. This is not a small problem for me please help me shut this sound off.

Who do you think you're shouting at? Apple? No. You just shouted a demand to only users on a user to user only forum, none of whom have any ability to get rid of anything.

TURN OFF THE SOUND WHEN I MUTE and UNMUTE CALLS! This is NOT a FEATURE it's a NUISANCE!

Who do you think you are shouting at? Apple? You're not. You are shouting at other users on a user to user only forum, none of whom have any control over iOS.

You should always use whatever product you feel better meets your needs. As users on this user to user only forum, it won't hurt our feelings if Apple doesn't fit that for you anymore. In the world of Smart Phones, it's either Android (Samsung and Google) or iOS (Apple) which are your two primary options. Android will surely have features you may not care for as well. Always remember, "the grass is not always greener on the other side of the pasture."

And as has been provided many times in this thread, feel free to leave feedback with Apple directly as they aren't here and aren't reading these posts for feedback --> Feedback - iPhone - Apple

Yesss Just today it happened again and I was on speaker, it’s just the worst! Please fix it back to the way it was. There’s no reason for a sound on a silencer

Have you told Apple what you'd like to see? They don't read these forums for suggestions.
