How to disable ding sound on in-app purchase confirmation

Hello! I want my Candy Crush gape purchases to be discrete. Is there a way to suppress the ding on purchase confirmation? Even though the iPhone volume is turned all the way to zero, the annoying ding still announces my purchase to everyone around! Thank you for enlightening me.

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 18

Apple doesn’t provide a direct setting to disable the confirmation sound for in-app purchases. However, here are a few workarounds you can try:


1. Use Silent Mode – Toggle the Silent/Ring switch on the side of your iPhone to silent before making a purchase.

2. Enable Do Not Disturb – Go to Settings ➡️ Focus ➡️ Do Not Disturb and turn it on temporarily.

3. Use Headphones – If you have wired or Bluetooth headphones connected, the sound will play through them instead of the speakers.

4. Lower System SoundsSettings ➡️ Sounds & Haptics might help.

Turning Off a Ding:

Be cautious of what you do, as you might purchase something by accident, by no maker than tapping the screen.
