silent mode

Vibrate only setting

Silent mode is a device setting that suppresses sounds—ringtones, alerts, notifications.

On phones, silent mode typically allows vibration while muting audio: I put my phone on silent mode during the meeting.

The setting lets you receive communications without disturbing others or drawing attention.
