Windows Phone: Set silent mode - how it works
If you do not want to be disturbed by your smartphone, you can put your Windows Phone into silent mode. We show you how to do this in this article.
Set silent mode in Windows Phone
You turn off the sound on your Windows Phone by pressing the volume button down until the control is set to "0/10".
- You cannot change media tones, such as those from videos or your alarm clock, using the volume control.
- To also mute these tones, press one of the volume buttons and then tap the arrow in the upper right corner.
- Now move the slider under "Media + Apps" to the left to deactivate these tones.
Mute Windows Phone completely
If you do not want your smartphone to make a peep, you must also switch off the vibration:
- To do this, press one of the volume buttons again and tap the arrow in the upper right corner.
- At the bottom left of the black window you can switch the vibration on or off.
