All iPads Can I create a mute button on my screen?

[questionwonder]

I just bought an iPad Air and I was wondering if it was possible to create a button on my screen to mute?
I'm aware of the drop down from the top right where I can slide the volume control to 0 and the physical volume buttons, but I'd like a one button solution.

Is there a native way to do it or a 3rd party app that will allow me to create a button like that...?

Perhaps a shortcut?

What about switching the iPad to "Do not disturb" mode? How digitalexplr stated, maybe you can find a shortcut for that.

"Hey Siri, mute"

"Hey Siri, mute"

From my experience, before Siri reacts it is faster to turn it off manually.

What could be easier than just holding the volume down button on the side?

This is what I do.

It’s probably going to be faster than being surprised at a loud noise, having to search for the mute button, then muting it.

Or just hold the home button.

Or just hold the home button.

Yes, it is also a possible way.

What about the assistive touch home button? You can sign a Siri shortcut to that. Shortcut can mute the sounds?
