Turn off mute sound on iPhone

Apparently they’re trying to retrain us to tell people we’re putting them on mute while taking a **** or ****/washing dishes/getting ice/yelling at your kid or dog/etc. et al? It’s like 3 years ago when all of a sudden important emails of mine were sent to the drafts folder rather than sent to the correct parties or 6 years ago where all my photos on my phone disappeared and they were synced to my desktop which also disappeared and each time this happened it happens after an update.

I too am experiencing this annoying problem. I am not sure why this feature was added without the ability to disable it.

I have to talk to multiple folks during throughout the day, the need to mute during meetings is essential so there is no background noises for the speaker. However, since this unwelcomed feature; I have been accused of recording conversations/meetings as result. This annoyance is jeopardizing the integrity of my day to day business. I have searched many ways to try and turn this sound off but have been unsuccessful. At this point I want to revert back an older IOS, how can I do that? If that's not possible I will be switching to a different phone all together. I have already submitted a request to the support product feedback. What I need now along with a whole lot of other users is a fix to this problem. Please advise?

Yes this is a real problem because I connect sound with my phone when I'm on zoom, and zoom can pick up this sound and highlight my icon as if I spoke. Please fix this/make it an option to turn off this!

Isn’t that sad that hundreds have posted how much they abhor this feature change but apple doesn’t read them or change wording they find offensive in them? How long ago did i post the same complaint and still nothing has been done about it? Has anybody else posted the obvious which is if you don’t like it change platforms on your next purchase? I mean they aren’t reading these or taking the client/user into consideration when they make a change to a feature end users don’t like it, right? Yet i have to sign in through apple to post here but with that being said…

No it's not sad at all. When you joined this forum, you should have read the terms of use, where it's clearly noted this is a user to user only forum. Apple isn't on this forum, so posting unhappiness with anything here is only posting to other users.

If you don't like something, use the feedback link. That is the ONLY way to ensure your thoughts will be heard by Apple. But that too doesn't mean Apple will change something. They'll just read what your thoughts are.

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?

Apple won't close this thread. People can still post and inquire. Most often, those who never bother to read past the first post. But threads don't get closed.

However, since you know the answer, if you don't want to continue seeing emails of new responses to this thread, simply tap the Following button at the top to stop following this thread and you won't continue to get notifications of new responses.

Also speaking of complaints, and i have a multitude, do you like what happens above and here if you finally decide to turn off automatic autocorrect on your phone? Thats one feature that people have been complaining about for decades.

I have the same issue. This is so annoying. They should've given this as an option and a setting to allow us to include the sound or not. Should've held off the software update because this may seem minor, but for people who are on calls/conference calls/meetings, or for work-related, it's annoying to keep having to hear the sound every single time. Apple needs to fix this, seriously. At least give an option if y'all are going to add a feature to the update that nobody asked for.

Yes I have same issue as well

Me too. So annoying. Also happening while adjusting photos. I wish someone from apple would respond. No answer from senior techs.

I have this same problem. It is very annoying to hear a sound every time I am in meetings and have to turn mute off and on so much that I want to downgrade to the older iOS version. Please fix!

Hey Apple… why the silence I believe that this is a feature not a bug and you have no interest in “correcting” the feature. It would be nice if someone responds.

I absolutely hate this feature. Apple please fix it.

Hi, me too facing this problem. Hope to solve it. It’s too annoying for me.
