Beep sound when pressing "mute" during a call

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:

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.

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:

I just upgraded my iPhone 12 to ios15 and after 2 hours of conference calls (where I need to mute/unmute), I have a horrible headache from having to hear the loud beep in my ears (I wear headphones) every time I need to speak. This is insane. Making such a huge change w/o giving users a way to turn it off is unacceptable. My apple household may be switching to android - it's that bad. I've submitted feedback via the link below. I'm just disbelief that such a ridiculous, obtrusive feature would be released like this. I want to run my iPhone over w my car.

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.

Perhaps they were thinking not everyone thinks like you as the beep is one of my favorite features of iOS 15.

You can hit mute and know mute has toggled state without having to look at the screen, as has been the case for decades with many regular phones.

If you have an issue with it, let Apple know here:

1. Can the person I am on the phone with here the alert? I have to go on and off mute all the time on conference calls with multiple people and I want to make sure they can’t here this.
2. PLEASE LET US Turn off this feature! Having no way to do this is not a benefit.

I absolutely agree – a beep sound when muting or unmuting defeats the whole purpose of having a mute. I mute because I am trying to eliminate background noise., and it is annoying and distracting to have a conversation punctuated by dozens of beeps. I also agree that this is bad enough to consider switching to android.

So I’ve been iOS 15 for a while, but for some reason this mute sound just magically started. I’m using my phone for work calls, and I’m constantly toggling mute. Hearing a beep every time I mute is so unweeded. The inability to disable the sound is just dumb.

Not sure the point of that comment. People here aren’t upset they added the beep, we’re upset there’s no way to selectively turn the feature off. Which would mean not just YOU are happy (cause you can leave it on), but also everyone who doesn’t think like YOU are also happy, cause we can turn it off. Everyone wins, takes minimal effort from Apple developers.
