You can turn off the ad sounds from the ad itself with a speaker button. I don’t think that every ad has it and it has to be done for each ad. The other way is to lower the volume in the Control Center or the volume buttons. The silent switch won’t play a role here. But if you lower the volume you won’t be able to listen to music. So that’s it.

Alright. Let me be more detailed, the game sound settings would be off. It’s is ads in the game that always play sound. How can this be fixed, that if there sound in the game is off, the ads will also be off?
