Muting the Speaker

If you're talking on your iPhone and need to speak to someone standing next to you, you can cover the iPhone's speaker so that the caller can't hear your side conversation, or you can mute the speaker.

To mute the speaker during a call, do this:

  1. Move the iPhone away from your face so you can see its screen.

  2. Tap Mute. The Mute icon appears highlighted, and you can say anything you want without the caller hearing what you say (unless you accidentally tap Mute again).
