Option 1: Enable Vibration Only
If you still want to be notified of incoming calls but without the loud ringing, enabling vibration mode is a convenient option.
- Open the Settings app on your phone.
- Select “Sounds & Haptics” (or similar option based on your device).
- Toggle the “Vibrate on Ring” option to enable it.
With vibration mode enabled, your phone will silently vibrate when an incoming call is received. This way, you’ll notice the call while minimizing any disturbance caused by the ringtone.
Option 2: Activate Do Not Disturb Mode
If you want complete silence from your phone, activating the Do Not Disturb mode is ideal. In this mode, all notifications and calls will be silenced, allowing you to focus on your tasks or enjoy some uninterrupted downtime.
- Access the Settings app on your device.
- Choose “Do Not Disturb” (or a similar named option).
- Toggle the Do Not Disturb switch to enable it.
Once Do Not Disturb mode is activated, your phone won’t ring or vibrate, and notifications will be silenced. However, if you still want to receive calls from specific contacts, you can customize the settings to allow calls from your preferred contacts only.
Option 3: Use Silent or Vibration-Only Ringtone
If you still want your phone to ring but without causing a disturbance, you can set a silent or vibration-only ringtone.
- Go to the Settings app on your phone.
- Select “Sounds & Haptics” (or a similar option).
- Choose the “Ringtone” option.
- Scroll to find and select a silent or vibration-only ringtone.
By setting a silent or vibration-only ringtone, your phone will ring discreetly without making any noise. You’ll still notice the call through the vibration if your phone is in vibration mode or silently if your phone is in silent mode.
Now that you know how to make your phone ring silently, you can finally regain control over your phone’s intrusiveness. Whether you prefer complete silence or minimal disturbance, the options we discussed – enabling vibration only, activating Do Not Disturb mode, or using a silent/vibration-only ringtone – provide various levels of peace and tranquility. So go ahead and try out these methods to make your phone ring the way you want it to!
