- danpalmer 3y agoThere is no other media content that is disabled by silent mode. My mental model for silent mode is that it silences things outside my control - like calls - but not things that I explicitly ask for, like music.
- organsnyder 3y ago"Silent mode" is not the same as "mute". With the former you still expect to hear sound if you're using a function where sound is critical.
- jamie_ca 3y agoiOS has changed over time, such that silent mode affects notification and interaction sounds but not multimedia - I can still listen to music or watch videos regardless of whether the phone is on silent or not.
