Let's scroll down to the "PHONE" section

Directly beneath that is "Sound profile"

If we press down on this, a new screen of options will appear.

"Normal" is currently selected, indicated by the green circle on the right side

This is the standard, normal profile. Normal sounds will work as they have been selected to.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
14
With the second option "Vibrate", the phone will be silent
.
It won't make any noise, but it is going to vibrate. This makes a little bit of noise. There's no sound, but we will hear the vibrations.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help

The final option is "Silent"
.
That means it won't vibrate or make any sound at all. Choose the desired option by tapping on one of the three choices.

It will then take us out of that menu screen, and the word under "Sound profile" will have changed to whatever profile was chosen
.

If we press down on "Sound profile" again, those options will appear, and it will show that "Vibrate" is the option we have selected

Now, we'll tap on "Normal" to choose that

Press the volume button on the right-hand side of the phone

When we do this, it is going to bring up a bar. It will disappear very quickly, so we might have to press down on the button again to bring it back.

Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help

Notice as we change the sound profiles by tapping through the different icons that the word under "Sound profile" changes as we change the different profiles
