How to disable iPhone mute switch

The mute switch keeps getting accidentally turned on (I assume in my pocket) so I put a piece of electrical tape over it (avoiding any tape on the screen and tape is placed under my phone cover).


Then I programmed a double back tap to turn mute on and off (settings-accessibility- touch- back tap)


Only negative is losing being able to check if in silent mode by looking for orange line by switch.

Hi itobor,


We understand that you'd like to disable the ring/silent switch on your iPhone. Currently there is not an option to disable the switch. If you'd like to see it in the future, be sure to leave feedback for Apple.
