How I can disable notification sounds while on call on my iPhone?

Hey, I am using iPhone for the last 10years, I have never experienced that annoying part, I am using iPhone 14 ProMax. While I am on calls, the notification sound in ear is so loud, such as text message, WhatsApp etc


Could anyone help me the best way to find out how I can disable all notifications (such as WhatsApp, texts, emails) sound while on call? Tnx

I silenced ALL notifications while on a call.

Create a new Focus <Custom>

Name it, etc. I named mine "Notifications Off with Calls'

Select 'Customize Focus'

Under SILENCE NOTIFICATIONS <People>

Select 'Allow Notifications From': Verify/ set nobody is selected

Click Next

On Choose Calls to Allow select 'Allowed People Only'

Click 'Done'

Verify 'None allowed' is displayed under 'People'

Click on 'Apps'

On 'Allow Notifications From' Verify/ set only the Phone App is selected

Click 'Done'

Under 'Set a Schedule' select 'Add Schedule'

Select 'App'

Select 'Phone'

Verify 'While using phone' is displayed below phone

Back out and you should be all set.

Not sure if you have resolved this yet, however this can be disabled if desired; go to (disclaimer; I am using an iPhone 11 Pro Max, however assumed that the iPhone 14 would be similar!1. ):
Settings -> Accessibilities -> Hearing Devices
2. Toggle "Play System Sounds" to the OFF position

That only affects how sounds are played if you're using hearing aids. The OP doesn't say that is their issue.
