Put on/in silent mode?

mistake . What does she like other than pop-music ?

I think many go with 'in'.

Both work for me so long as the word "mode" is included. You might also hear into.

If the word "mode" were omitted, however, I would invariably use on. Actually, that shortened form is what most people tend to use in everyday conversation.

MustAskDo you put your phone in or on silent mode?

Neither. Put your phone on mute.

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. While "mute" may be an acceptable alternative, "silent" seems just about as good, if not better, to me.

I was taking the "you" in the question literally.


Do you put your phone ... ?

Personally, I say "on mute", not "in silent mode". It has half as many syllables.
