Functionality changed mute switch in iOS 6


With the iPad you can set what the switch above the volume buttons do exactly, but on the iPhone since the first device it is already clear: it is a mute switch. If you see the orange dash is your iPhone on mute and he makes no unexpected noises, such as ring tones or sounds to push messages and notifications of incoming messages. Start an app and watch a movie or play your music, you hear it just sound. At least, that was so, because with iOS 6, Apple has the effect of the mute switch is a little changed.


Still makes the mute button that you can not hear ring tones and other notification sounds, that has not changed. Only some apps suddenly you hear no sound when playing a movie, in other apps and it works again just like always.

How is that exactly? If an app uses an internal browser to a video in a Web page to play, then it does not stand well. Unless the developer adjusts the settings so that it works again, writes The Next Web in an extensive article. Ultimately, it is intended that the operation of the mute switch remains the same, that Apple would like, but this requires developers adapt their apps.

It is therefore currently wrong for example Twitter apps that link open within the app developers and browsers. Google Chrome is adjusted so that it works again, but for example Tweet bot yet. For now, there is nothing else than the mute switch momentarily to switch if an app is no sound when playing a movie, in the hope that developers make their apps quickly.
