Re: creating a shortcut to toggle silent mode

['Richard Turner' via VIPhone]

I was curious so I thought maybe I should try this too. I will reveal how thick I can be; how to you associate the triple back tab with a shortcut? I cannot figure that out.

This is what it said.  You will have to try it to see if it actually works. Yes, you can create a shortcut on your iPhone to toggle silent mode. Here's how you can do it: Open the Shortcuts app on your iPhone. Tap the + button to create a new shortcut. Tap Add Action. Search for Set Silent Mode and select it. Tap the word Turn to reveal a drop-down menu and select Toggle. This will allow the shortcut to switch between turning silent mode on and off. Once you've created the shortcut, you can add it to your home screen or use Siri to activate it. This way, you can easily toggle silent mode without having to use the physical switch on your iPhone         Richard, USA, "When you come to the edge of all the light you know and are about to step off into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing one of two things will happen: there will be something solid to stand on or you will be taught how to fly." -- Barbara J.
