How to schedule silent mode (not Do Not Disturb via Focus)

I'm trying to schedule my iPhone to go into silent mode at a certain time weekly.

I want to still have vibration, notifications show on screen, and notification badges show. I just don't want any noise.


I can get the notifications and notification badges to show through in Focus mode with the settings "Show On Lock Screen" enabled and "Hide Notification Badges" disabled in that individual focus mode's settings. But I see no way to have the vibration come through too.


Additionally, I'm trying to also mute the media volume at the same time... I just want all sounds to be off at a certain time each week.

Hello craigteryx,


You're on the right track with Focus. That will be your closest available option to schedule things such as muting notifications. However, this does not allow you to designate a vibrate option. You are welcome to submit feedback via Feedback - iPhone - Apple to let your interest in this feature be known.


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities!
