Turn off mute sound on iPhone

Hi,

I recently upgraded to iOS 15 and when I am on phone call, if I press the mute button or speaker button ( inside the phone call/ while I am on the call), it makes a clicking sound ( this lets the person on other side of call know that I put them on speaker / hold/ mute , because of the button press sound that I can hear as well as the other person on the call). How do I fix this , or press mute / speaker buttons without making sound.

I did try sound haptics turn off, sound settings all off etc, but none of the solutions worked.

thanks so much in advance.

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.

I hate it! One of the worst ever. Still don’t understand why an annoying sound is associated with a SILENCE option

I did. However, this is on apple.com, no? Yet they don’t check this. Hmmmm. You’re right. It’s not sad. It’s useless.

Not sure how this "answer" could actually be less helpful.

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
