Remotely turn on silent mode on iPad pro from iPhone

Is there a way to turn off or on the silent mode on my iPad from my iPhone. I leave my iPad in my bag and sometimes I forget to turn on silent mode. Is there a way I can just do this on my iPhone so I don't have to keep doing it directly from my iPad?


Thanks!

iPad Pro, iPadOS 17

Sorta. If they are on the same Apple account then turning your phone on do not disturb or sleep mode will also do the same for your iPad.

Good Point! Though this does not affect the Silent Mode operation, the OP would need to switch to using Do Not Disturb settings in Focus and be using the same Apple ID with the option to "Share Across Devices. The setting will affect both devices and you will not be able to control just the iPad remotely.
