Silent mode timer

Is there any way to set a timer on silent mode? I turn it on for a meeting and forget to turn it off missing calls and texts.

iPhone 13, iOS 16

If you access the Control Center, Press and hold on the Focus button then tap the three dots next to the name of the focus you want to have turn off after a time, you'll see the options "For 1 Hour", "Until this evening (assuming it's afternoon)" or "Until I leave this place".


While it's not quite the same as setting a time on the mute switch, it's still useful. And, if you want to get into writing Automations, I'm sure you could do a lot more.
