How do I disable the Ring / Silent switch in my iPhone?

Hey stevethompson49,

We'd be happy to help. There's not a way to prevent your Ring/Silent switch from working. You'll just need to be careful about hitting it mistakenly.

If you'd like to provide feedback though, you can do so here: Product Feedback - Apple

Take care!

do you use a protective case for your iPhone? I have one of the basic silicone ones from Apple.. and the switch is recessed from the surface of the case, which should prevent any 'bumps'. So maybe try a case?
