Guilty of muting your phone and forgetting to put it back on ring mode, sometimes missing important alerts?​ With Temporary Mute, you can silence your device for a set duration. After the elapsed time, the phone will automatically switch back to ring mode or vibrate.

 

Here’s a quick guide to enable temporary mute.

1. Tap on the Settings icon.

2. Tap Sounds and vibration.

3. Under Sound mode, tap on Mute. Additional sound features and settings will appear.

4. Toggle to turn on the Temporary Mute feature. More additional sound options will appear.

5. Tap Mute for to set the mute duration.

6. A pop-up menu containing the preset number of hours will appear. Just tap to select your preferred number of hours or tap on Custom to set your desired temporary mute duration.

This temporary mute feature allows you to set your phone to automatically go silent for the specified time duration. Once the mute duration ends, the phone will go back to the previous sound mode before the temporary mute feature was activated.

 

Note: This feature, device screenshots and menu may vary depending on the device model and software version.

Thanks! Didn't know this is an option. Though I only use Sound and Vibrate, wish this is also available on the Vibrate mode.

Currently, I just use a Routine to vibrate during a specific time and return to sound after

My phone is a Samsung S10e (SM-G970F/DS). I often have to set it on Temporary Mute for typically 5 hours. But when I do so, the phone remains on mute indefinitely. Is this a known fault, and is there a way to fix it?
