phone silencing
Quieting your mobile
Phone silencing is the act of muting a phone's ringer and notifications, typically to avoid disturbance during meetings, movies, or sleep.
Most phones offer quick toggles—a physical switch, button combination, or software setting—to silence alerts without fully powering down: Please silence your phones before the performance begins.
