Can you completely turn off the sound on an iPhone 5?

So I just got an iPhone 5 yesterday. I know how to mute the ringer, but if I want to play a game during school I don't want the sound to be on. Is there a way to mute apps? And I don't want to do any jailbreaks or things like that

If a tree falls in a forest and no one is there, does it make a sound?

Seriously, try using the same volume button when the app is running. On my iPhone 3gS, if you don't have something running, volume changes ringer, but if you launch an app, you can control sound volume *non-ringer* with the same control.

Yes, the same switch for the ringer disables in app sounds.

  • Turn off iPhone 5s completely when abroad? I'm going to Argentina for 3 weeks and I'm taking my iPhone 5s but I plan on turning it completely off. I've read so many horror stories about charges on your bill. I initially planned on turning the roaming off or whatever, but I'm not sure how all that works, so if I turn it off completely will everything be okay? Or do I have to do anything else like remove the sim card.
  • Sound better if i turn iphone sound at 50% and turn radio up? - 1 My girlfriend is convinced that it sounds alot better if i turn my iphone volume to 50% and turn the car's stereo up it sounds better as opposed to keeping the iphone volume at 100% and turning the car's stereo down… True or?
  • My IPhone works completely fine sometimes but a lot of times I can't use it and it's completely unresponsive to my touch? I scheduled an appointment to fix my very cracked screen and I was just wondering if this will fix my problem for sure or is there something else that may be causeing the screen to be unresponsive?
  • My iPhone 4 won't let me turn off the volume completely? When I lower the volume the ringer does not go all the way down. When I press the buttons to lower my volume it goes down but one little square stays and won't go down and it's really disturbing because when I'm in class I get a message and my phone rings and I can't do anything about it. Is there a way that I could of had possible locked it?
