Unable to mute advertisements in apps I have apps that allow for muting of sound, but when an advertisement pops up the mute setting is ignored. Some advertisements have a volume button but more and more they do not. I can be in an app listening to a book or music, but when the advertisement pops up the book stops and I get 90 seconds of annoying noise or royal match interviews. It is so frustrating. Android has volume controls in the settings. If you don’t want to have an app have access to your speakers then you can set it up that way. That solves the problem. Why is it that Apple can’t simply put a speaker access on/off button in the apps settings menu? You can deny access to photos from an app, you can set up notification preferences! If the advertisement folks want to shove down minutes of annoying sounds as you try and listen to some music while you playing a game then we should be able to shut it off without having to mute the whole phone. If android can do it so can you Apple!

Ads in iPhone apps ignore silent switch Some ads in iPhone apps ignore the silent switch. That is bad enough but up until today those ads at least have had a mute button. Today got a ad for the app Viola's Quest: Marble Blast that not only ignored the silent switch but it also did not have a mute button so audio started blasting out with no way to stop the noise. Over time doesn't it seem like we get less and less control of our devices. Features of iOS that I like to use seem to disappear with each new major release.

Mute Apps I would like to mute my apps like ABC, Hulu etc. with one touch when commercials come on. They are often at a louder volume, and it is bad for my hearing. I can do it with my TV.

You cannot mute in-app ads. For ad-ware supported software, that is how the developers make their money. To stop them you’d have to upgrade to a paid, ad-free version of the app, if the developer offers one.
