I ' m an android dude so hard for me to answer that . Can you save files to your iPhone from Dropbox ? <| sep |> I fucking knew it ! <| sep |> The closest option I can think is the toggle switch the first poster mentioned . I use it all the time and it silences everything . Videos , app sounds , messages , and notifications . But your ringer wouldn ' t make sound . But it will vibrate . If you can handle the ringer just being on vibrate , then I think that ' s the best option to meet the needs you described above . I ' m also pretty new to iPhone , the 6 was my first , but I still learn new things that I can do with the iPhone even now lol . Edit to add that the do not disturb mode only works if your not using the phone . If your using it the phone will function as normal . There is an option to silence the phone at all times , but I believe that will only silence notifications and not app sounds . The switch is the only way I know how to mass silence the phone .
