Beep sound when pressing "mute" during a call

Hello Borys25,

Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities! We understand that you're wanting to disable the alert that sounds when placing a call on mute. Currently, this feature can't be disabled on iOS 15. If you'd like to provide feedback to Apple about this feature, you can do so by visiting the following link:

Cheers!

I'm one of the early posters on this thread. Yesterday a co-worker alerted me that there is a limited workaround if you are dialing into zoom but it requires you have a decent wifi/data connection: in the zoom ios app, go to settings->general and turn off "use CallKit to receive calls when not on zoom". Then, instead of using the iOS phone app to call into a zoom meeting (or have the zoom app "call me" at your phone number), you need to join the meeting via the ios zoom app and then say "use cellular or wifi". Then you will use the zoom app screen to mute/unmute and there is no beep. To me, this is a real PITA as now I have to join both from my Mac plus the zoom iOS app so it will look like I've joined twice, but for a call where I know I will be muting/unmuting often, it will save me a headache. And I've had many headaches since upgrading to ios15 thanks to this ridiculous feature.

Just a reminder to anyone reading this, please file a complaint using the apple feedback link mentioned throughout this thread -that is the only way Apple will know that you want this fixed. All we can do here on this thread is vent and offer workarounds and updates.

The only way around this that I have found is when using WebEx, there is a double-mute feature. You can call into conference calls and leave your iPhone unmuted, then mute yourself on the WebEx side. Realize this only helps if your company uses WebEx. I absolutely hate this iPhone feature as well.

It’s actually one of my favorite new features, and I suspect visually impaired users appreciate it as well.

Regardless, absolutely no one here can do anything about it one way or another, so let Apple know of your opinion at this link:

Who thought this feature was a good idea? I should’ve never upgraded my phone! Things like this makes me switch back to the Samsung. This is awful! And the fact that I’ve spent hours searching for a solution only to get the “new feature” response and cannot be disabled is sad

None of us would be thinking anything about this. This is a user to user support forum and Apple does not participate here. If you wish to provide feedback to Apple regarding a change you would like to see, a change you didn’t like, or report a bug, then use the feedback link here, Feedback - iPhone - Apple

It is extremely rude of apple to add a mute/unmute sound. This new setting of ios15 really makes things awkward for me. Immediately update to allow users to turn off the mute/unmute sound. We should have a right to choose.

Have you told Apple how you feel? No one reading here can make the change you'd like to see.

But no, you don't have "right" to anything in Apple's UI choices.

No one here can do anything. You would need to provide feedback to Apple if you wish them to know you would like to see a change. Go to Feedback - iPhone - Apple

In general, Apple doesn’t provide a lot of

options to control various elements of the UI in that way.

If you want them, ask:

Well, it’s almost December and this atrocity of a “feature” still seems to be something users can’t turn off. Luckily I backed up my phone before downgrading to iOS 15.1 so can just burn some time reverting until this gets sorted.

that annoying disruptive beep sound when using mute should be a simple fix :with the option of turning it off in settings please Apple do this in a software update soon!

Apple doesn't read here for suggestions (something you'd know if you actually read the thread before posting in it).

Use the feedback link given above to let them know your thoughts.
