How to Remove the Silent Indicator From the Status Bar on Your iPhone

Your iPhone’s status bar is helpful, but having the Silent indicator might not be as useful as other information your iPhone can show there. Luckily, if you want to disable the Silent mode indicator, it only takes a couple of taps. Here’s what you need to do:

1. Open the Settings app.
2. Scroll down and go to Sounds & Haptics.
3. Near the top of your screen, below Silent Mode, toggle Show in Status Bar off.

And that’s it. The indicator is gone for good. Of course, if you miss it or think you need it, follow the same steps and enable the same feature to bring it back.
