Ring/silence switch

Hi. My son has an IPhone 11 as does my wife. When the ring/silent switch is set to silent on his phone and he uses his volume buttons a message drops down from the top notifying him that the switch is set to silent. The message stays for a couple of seconds and the slides up out of view. My wife would like the same for her phone but I cannot see how to set it for her. I have trawled the Internet but with no success. Please can the community help.
