Many standard and third-party apps on the Apple iPhone include audible notifications for specific events, such as voicemails, SMS text messages, calendar appointment and reminder alerts. Moving the ring/silent switch on the side of the iPhone to the silent position typically kills alert sounds from all apps. Activating the iPhone’s “Do Not Disturb” feature also silences the device, but you can set this to allow the phone to ring when it receives calls from specific contacts so you don’t miss important calls. The iPhone also includes advanced sound settings that you can configure to partially silence the device by disabling audible notifications for selected apps and phone functions.
