“New email” alerts with NO sound / by Richard

Are you annoyed by the fact that you can't receive a "new email" without any sound from your iPhone? There is no built in feature for a silent “new email” alert. Either you have sound plus vibration or nothing at all provided by Apple.

Adding a silent ring tone and assigning it to the “new email” alert will just do the trick. Here is the how you do:

  1. Download the file: silence ringtone for iPhone
  2. Unzip it
  3. Drag it to you iTunes library
  4. You’ll find the file now under  ”Tones”
  5. Connect your iPhone and drag the silent file to your iPhone. The iPhone will recognize the file and it will be available for you
  6. On you iPhone, Go to Settings, Sounds and further down the list, you’ll find “new email”
  7. Choose the "silent" sound

Then if you like to add a “flash” alert, here is how you do;

  1. On you iPhone, Go to Settings and General
  2. Further down the list, you’ll find “Accessibility”
  3. Turn on “LED Flash for Alerts”
