When I mute a phone call

Jezkadaqueen,

At this time, there isn't a setting that can turn off Mute alerts. Please note that, when you mute a phone call, the other person should not be hearing the mute alert on their end. If the other person is hearing the mute alert on their end, then that means that the Phone app might not be working as expected. If the Phone app isn't working as expected, follow these steps: If an app on your iPhone or iPad stops responding, closes unexpectedly, or won’t open.

Have a nice day.

Hi Jezkadaqueen, 

Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities. 

It sounds like when you mute a phone call an alert is heard and we’re happy to help! 

iOS 15 introduces many new features and one of the new features is Mute alerts. 

"Mute alerts

Lets you know when you’re talking while muted. Tap the alert to quickly unmute and make sure your voice is heard." It's important to note that after testing with others, we were able to confirm that they're unable to hear the mute alert on their end.

To learn more about all the new iOS 15 features, visit the iOS 15 - Features - Apple page.  You can also provide feedback regarding the feature at: Product Feedback - Apple

Best regards. 

This is the worst new feature they could add without giving us an option to turn it off. I don’t want the other party to know I’ve muted myself.

I am having the same problem - whenever I hit mute the person on the other end of the call hears a beep - people have mentioned it to me several times. It’s an awful change and I would urge you to create a way to turn it off. Thanks.
