Make iPhone silent while sleeping

Solution 1:

A partial solution is to create an "Automation" with the "Shortcuts" app that enters Do-not-disturb mode whenever the smart-alarm app is opened. Then one has to manually exit Do-not-disturb mode every morning upon waking up. Not a perfect solution by any means, but I think it's probably good enough.

Solution 2:

Go to settings and scroll down about 1 page. You'll see an option that reads "Do not Disturb". Turn this on and it silences your phone.

Solution 3:

Like jmh said, that is a valid option too. But, if you don't want to have to open settings, you can access Control Center and tap on the 'moon' icon to activate Do Not Disturb.

How do I access Control Center? Steps:

  • iPhone without a home button: swipe down from the top right of the screen.
  • iPhone with a home button: swipe up from the bottom of the screen.
