Turn off mute sound on iPhone

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.

Lobsterghost1:

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.

Thanks Louis.

I just submitted a complaint and linked this forum to my submission. It may be best for everyone on here to submit individual complaints because I got an automated response saying they will review my submission, but not respond to me personally. Hope everyone can help make this mute “feature” a bug in the eyes of Apple.

You're welcome. I suspect Apple won't change this however, People will be muting their phones without any audible sound and complaining that they keep making changes they weren't aware of.

But, by all means, definitely let Apple know your thoughts.

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.

This is a huge bug and privacy issue.

you should not make noise when you put your phone on silent.

this is absolutely safety issue at this point.

it can cause alerts to surroundings which is not acceptable.

when you put your phone on silent means no noise.

This “feature” is Toobin-proof, suspect that is why it is mandatory, way for Apple to CYA when conference calls are unintentionally off mute. Apple can absolve themselves of any liability.

Trust me, I hate the sound as well. This user forum will not force change though. You have to submit a formal complaint. Please see earlier posts.

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

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.

There needs to be an on and off switch for this feature. I can see that it can be helpful to some folks but I have headphones that automatically mute me when I am not speaking. This sound gets old very quickly.

This is the most annoying feature.

Apple iPhone used to be tailored to the individual,

that was Steve Jobs vision.

The fact that there is no option to take the sound off- for all of those who don’t like it - creates friction - the opposite of unique to the individual-

makes me want to not use the iPhone any longer and I only have the update for a day ,

already looking to other phones more tailored to me , or able to be custom to me.

I see a lot of griping and other useless comments on this thread, but has anyone actually confirmed with Apple if it Is or Is Not possible to disable the unwanted sounds in the Phone app whenever a participant taps the Mute button during a call? I haven't found any way to do this.

Planning to call Apple support to find out if there's a setting hidden somewhere.

Provided this feedback to Apple...

Please add a setting to disable sounds whenever a caller taps the Mute button in the Phone app.

This most annoying and useless feature interferes with a caller's ability to focus on the content of calls.

I can't believe Apple would add this so-called feature without providing a setting to disable it. I shouldn't have to be asking for this setting here.

There was one a time when customers could count on Apple to know better than to do this kind of ****. WTF happened?
