Hi,
My iPhone 6 mute button is not working correctly, it's showing as set to silent on the screen but I can still hear sounds as normal.
I also don't see the volume level anymore when changing it.
Any ideas?
iPhone 6, iOS 8
Hey Dub86Nut,
Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like you are still hearing some sounds when your Ring/Silent switch is toggled. This may be expected behavior depending on the source of the sound. For more information, see the following:

Important: Clock alarms, audio apps such as Music, and many games play sounds through the built-in speaker, even when iPhone is in silent mode. In some areas, the sound effects for Camera and Voice Memos are played, even if the Ring/Silent switch is set to silent.
For information about changing sound and vibration settings, see Sounds and silence.
In some cases, you may not see a volume slider in apps or Control Center, or no volume bars when you adjust volume with buttons. If you are experiencing this symptom, see the following resource for troubleshooting information:
iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker

What's the point of having a toggle switch for volume "off/on" if the thing does not actually do that 'in some cases'? That's a horrible design flaw of the iPhone 6s that Apple Corp is ignoring. Not to mention how annoying and inconvenient this is. I consider ithis a major flaw despite your trying to minimize it.
