Hello Avaloren2!


The Silent Mode Switch on the Left side of your iPhone will silence all notifications.


However, when you set up a Focus, this will silence all notifications too, but then you can pick which contacts and apps you’d still like to receive notifications from. You can have this Focus automatically turn on and off, too.


To learn how to use it, please see: Use Focus on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


I hope this is helpful. Good Luck!
