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 on page 36. Use Do Not Disturb. You can also silence calls, alerts, and notifications using Do Not Disturb.
