Mute iPhone - how it works

Mute iPhone

• To silence the iPhone, all you have to do is flip the switch on the left side of the iPhone. If there is an orange area next to it, the sound is deactivated (see picture).
• Alternatively, you can reduce the volume using the plus and minus buttons below the switch.
• If that doesn't work, you can adjust the volume in the Settings app under the menu item "Tones".

We will show you in the next practical tip how you can only switch off the iPhone's keyboard tones.
