Do Not Disturb on iPhone What is (manner mode)

Image source:

Silent mode is silent mode.

Specifically, it refers to a state in which a specific sound is not emitted from the "iPhone speaker".

What is iPhone silent mode?

How to switch to silent mode (silent mode)

To switch iPhone to silent mode, simply push the switch on the left side of the iPhone to the back side.

When the iPhone is viewed from the side, the back part of the switch turns orange.

The sounds that are muted are "ringtones" and "notification sounds"

The following two sounds are not emitted from the speaker when silent mode is set.

Sounds that disappear in silent mode

Ringtone

The ringtone is the sound that alerts you to an incoming call.

As long as you are in silent mode, you will not hear any ringtones.

By setting the vibration, the iPhone itself will vibrate, so even if the user is not looking at the screen of the iPhone, the user can be notified of incoming calls.

Notification Sounds

Notification sounds are the sounds for incoming messages and app notifications.

For example, when you receive an email or a LINE message, the notification sound that sounds "picon ♪" is applicable.

This notification sound will not play if you put it in silent mode.

However, by setting the vibration, the main body vibrates and you can know the notification from the application in a timely manner.

Sounds even in silent mode (silent mode)

Sounds can be heard even in silent mode in the following cases.

Alarm sound

The alarm sound is the alarm sound for the Clock app on your iPhone.

This sound cannot be muted in any mode.

Therefore, the alarm sounds even if you set it to silent mode or good night mode.

Also, please note that the alarm sounds "from the iPhone itself" even if you are wearing earphones.

Shutter sound

When you use the camera app on your iPhone, you will hear a sound even in silent mode.

This sound cannot be muted in any mode.

Music/Video Playback

You cannot adjust the volume or mute the music/video playback sound in silent mode.

If you want to adjust it, adjust it in "Volume", which is a separate item from silent mode.

How to adjust "Volume" will be explained later.

Difference from good night mode

Silent mode vibrates, but good night mode does not.

In the first place, the good night mode is "a function for not notifying the user of notifications".

So when your device is in Do Not Disturb mode, it won't make any sounds, it won't vibrate, and the screen won't flash to show you notifications.

Silent mode, on the other hand, "just doesn't make any sound."

When a notification comes, the screen will light up and the device will vibrate.

How to set vibration

To set vibration, launch "Settings" on your iPhone and tap "Sounds & Haptics" in the red frame in the image.

The image below is the "Sounds and Haptics" screen for setting the vibration.

The 8 items displayed in the red frame can be individually set to vibrate.

On the other hand, you cannot set individual settings other than those displayed here.

In other words, it is not possible to say "I want to change the vibration setting only for LINE".

In addition, you can select the vibration setting during silent mode in the "Silent switch selected" in the blue frame of the image.

If you turn it on, you can activate the vibration even in silent mode, so use it according to the situation.

This is the only setting in silent mode.

On iPhone 6s and earlier,

Go to

1. Settings
2. Sound

.

Settings for each app such as "Vibrate only the phone" or "Do not vibrate LINE" are not possible.

To change the vibration type individually

As mentioned above, you can specify the vibration pattern individually for the following 8 items.

Items that can specify vibration

Basically, it is only the standard iOS phone and message functions.

Let's check the detailed steps.

How to change the type of vibration

First,

Go to

1. Settings
2. Sounds & Haptics

.

It is the same as the operation performed in "How to set the vibration" earlier.

8 items that can individually set the vibration are displayed (red frame). Tap the item you want to change.

Here, tap "Ringtone".

After selecting, the type such as ringtone is displayed, but when you move to the top of the screen, "vibration" in the red frame of the image is displayed. Let's tap this.

On the "Vibration" screen, you can select 8 types of vibrations as shown in the red frame in the image.

Vibrations that can be selected

You can also create a new original vibration.

How to turn off the sound when playing music/videos

"I was in silent mode, but when I played a video, the sound came out loud..." "Public places So, I was embarrassed by the sound of the advertisement," Have you ever experienced that?

Actually, just setting it to silent mode doesn't mute all sounds on your iPhone.

Because the sound when watching videos or listening to music cannot be controlled in silent mode.

Mute the sound of video playback and music with the item "Volume", which is separate from silent mode.

Procedure to mute the sound with "Volume"

There are two ways to mute the "volume" when playing music or videos that cannot be mute in silent mode.

How to mute "volume" when playing music or video

Mute with "volume button" when playing music

While music or video is playing, lower the iPhone volume button Please press

The speaker icon will then appear on the screen and the volume bar will shrink.

Press and hold the lower volume button until "Mute" appears.

Show Control Center and mute

The second method is to mute the sound from Control Center.

Swipe the iPhone screen from top to bottom to bring up the control screen.

You can mute the sound by lowering the bar where the speaker mark is displayed.

Precautions when using earphones

Image source:

If you're thinking, "If you're wearing earphones, you won't hear any sound from your iPhone."

That's wrong.

"Alarm" and "Shutter sound" will sound from "both the iPhone itself and earphones", so both sounds will sound regardless of the presence or absence of earphones.

The alarm sound is especially loud, so please be careful not to ring it carelessly.

In addition, if you really want to use the alarm function in public places, it is recommended to change the alarm setting to silent / vibrate only. The setting procedure is described later.

If you turn off silent mode and use earphones in normal mode, in addition to the alarm and shutter sound, the "ring tone" will also sound from the iPhone itself, so be careful.

When you're in a public place, don't think that you're fine because you're wearing earphones.

Frequently Asked Questions about Silent Mode< /h2>

A collection of frequently asked questions and answers about silent mode.

Is it possible to make only LINE without vibration?

When I'm in silent mode (manner mode), my iPhone keeps vibrating because there are a lot of LINE message notifications. It would be troublesome if there was no vibration when receiving an incoming call, so is it possible to set it to "vibrate only for incoming calls and not for LINE"?

The answer to this question is that only incoming calls vibrate and LINE does not vibrate.

This is because the vibration ON/OFF cannot be set for each application.

If you set the vibration when receiving an incoming call, LINE will inevitably be set to vibrate as well.

If you don't vibrate LINE, incoming calls won't vibrate either.

Does the alarm sound even in silent mode?

Alarm sounds even in silent mode.

Because the alarm on your iPhone is always going off.

This means that the alarm will not be silenced in any mode.

Sounds even in silent mode...

You say you hear sounds even in silent mode, but aren't they sounds other than ringtones/communication tones?

For example, the sound of music or the sound played when playing a video.

Actually, only ringtones and communication sounds can be muted in silent mode.

Sounds other than ringtones/communication tones can be adjusted using the "Volume" item in the Control Center.

Swipe the iPhone screen from top to bottom to display the control center, and move the speaker mark bar up and down to adjust.

Put the bar all the way down to mute.

Even if you don't voluntarily play a video, you may suddenly see a video ad while browsing a website.

Since the sound may be heard regardless of your intention, it is better to turn off the "Volume" item when you are in a public place.

I can't receive calls in silent mode!

If you are in silent mode, you will not notice a call from your friend. It doesn't vibrate and I only get a "Received an incoming call" notification. The person who called me also said, "I didn't even hear the call tone."

I think the answer to this question is that your device is in "Do Not Disturb" and the "Do Not Disturb" setting is set to "Do not allow anyone to receive calls".

Perhaps it doesn't matter if it's in "silent mode" or not.

Do you see a crescent moon on the top right corner of your iPhone? If you see it, it means you're in sleep mode.

To exit Do Not Disturb mode, swipe down from the top to reveal the Control Center and tap the crescent moon.

When the crescent moon mark disappears from the top right corner of the iPhone, the sleep mode is canceled.

Also, to change the settings for incoming calls in Do Not Disturb, go to Settings > Do Not Disturb > Allow Incoming Calls.

If you check "Everyone" in this "Allow Incoming Calls" item, you will be able to receive calls even in good night mode.

Does the Earthquake Early Warning sound even in silent mode?

Earthquake Early Warning (*) sounds even in silent mode.

By the way, it sounds even in sleep mode.

(*)Earthquake early warnings are issued simultaneously by the Japan Meteorological Agency to mobile devices in areas where strong tremors with a seismic intensity of 4 or higher are expected in the event of an earthquake with an estimated maximum seismic intensity of 5 lower or higher. Refers to notifications.

No sound even though it's not in silent mode!

The volume may be set to zero.

If the sound that does not come out is the ringtone or notification sound, set the volume of the ringtone and notification sound.

To adjust the volume of ringtones and notifications, go to "Settings" > "Sounds and Haptics" and adjust the ringtone and notification sound slide bars.

For volume settings other than ringtones and notification sounds, swipe the iPhone screen from top to bottom to bring up the control center, then pull the speaker mark bar up.

The answer to this question is to adjust the sound of the alarm by going to Settings > Sounds & Haptics and clicking on the slider bar for Ringtones & Notifications. slide left or right.
