Turn off mute sound on iPhone

It's super annoying and I'd love to know why Apple decided to add yet another user-unfriendly feature, but when I tested for myself, using another phone on speaker, the pinging off/on mute sound doesn't seem to go through to the other party, much like you can listen to music or watch a video and the other person can't hear it, only you. Let us know if you have a different experience.

I guess you didn't bother to read past the very first post? If you had, you'd see you're not speaking with Apple and this is a user to user only forum. As users, no one here can turn on or off anything. There is a feedback link posted multiple times in this thread. Find it and provide feedback to Apple.

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:

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.

This was not helpful, so how do I turn this off? I have all sounds turned of and the mute button keeps making sounds when I’m on a call.

I tested it with a few people and they couldn’t hear the sound. It’s still annoying though.

I called Apple and they saw an open case for this “feature” on 10/7/2021. The best advice he had was to make this problem go viral.

Go to Sounds& Haptics, either turn off 'change with buttons' or turn off 'text tone' by selecting 'none'.

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.

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?!

Yea, clearly they tested the wrong market for this “feature.” It is not that hard to be aware of muting and un-muting yourself, but hearing a loud noise every time is very frustrating. Apple this is an issue, we need it solved now!

Is there any way to reverse the iOS upgrade? I doubt they have any urgency to make changes to this feature since it was put in place on purpose. We have to prove to Apple that they demonstrated poor judgment in their decision based on our volume of complaints.

Thank you for your information. I didn't know this wasn't seen by Apple. But I did call Apple and I will push further with being a customer that dislikes the mute noise. You're the best for letting us know. Have a great weekend.

Nope. I've looked through every post and there is no response from any Apple Employees in this thread. The only Apple employees who do respond are what are called Community Specialist. They only provide standard answers to threads which have not been responded to by us users after 24 hours. They do not communicate with Apple Engineering at All. And there are forum hosts, whose job is to monitor posts for violation of Terms of Use. They can at their discretion, edit or delete posts which do violate those terms.

This stupid privacy bug also makes the same stupid noise while usually other alls.

like Chime or etc.

Why would some one add noice on silent option?

How does that make sense? Silent your phone but make noise so everyone can hear you.

This is definitely safety issue at this point. You can not be private at all.
