iOS 7: Turn off the display lock tone - how it works
In iOS 7, a sound sounds every time you switch off the display. It can get annoying very quickly. In this practical tip, we explain how to deactivate the blocking tone.
Silent switching off: Deactivate the lock tone in the iPhone settings
- Tap "Settings" on your home screen.
- Select "Tones" and scroll down.
- At "Sound when locking", slide the control to the left. The display switch-off tone is now deactivated.
All sounds can also be temporarily switched off with the "Do not disturb" function. We explain in another practical tip how you can use this function in iOS 7.
